Behdad, First of all, I am sorry for using the wrong list. But I thought that position expressed the views of the Foundation, so the Foundation should be aware...

I think it is entirely against the spirit of Free Software (the way RMS usually represents it). Instead of emphasysing the difference between ethics of freedom - and just development model - that sentence implicitly removes that difference - and shows that for GNOME that difference does not matter. If it IS the case - GNOME probably should take the first letter in the name off (and pull out of the GNU Project). If it is not - the difference should be articulated, don't you think? I know, that mistake (FS ~= OSS) is made my many uneducated people. But we in GNOME are educated about these things, aren't we?
