We know what "to endorse" means, it is to be behind, to approve of, to give supor and guarantee to meet a certain standard. When FSF has a stand against PRISM and mentions e.g. Skype in that relation as member of PRISM while in same time endorses distributions where software is included that interacts with Skype, that is contradictory to each other. Software that interacts to PRISM members is then for thousand times, maybe millions, who knows how many, distributed from FSF endorsed distributions, and that is conflict, and gives impression of hypocrisy. When FSF has a stand and position against centralization of Internet, promotes decentralization and strongly urges everyone to promote decentralized Internet, but on the other hand approves and endorses distributions which do not mind of decentralization, than that is contradictory, conflict and gives impression of hypocrisy. Thousands of times users of FSF endorsed distributions will be supported to connect to centralized network. Is it now clearer? Jean
