Whoa ! ...i'll back out a bit. I seem to have hit a nerve somewhere. This 
wasn't a personal attack on you, that's why i said the *thread* was trying too 
hard.

methinks, some clarifications are in order ...

a. It's a moot point discussing what 'constitutes' an 'FOSS' company, because, 
like you very rightly point out, the 'F' in FOSS also is debatable. So, one 
cannot really define a FOSS company.
b. I used the FSF request for copyright assignment only as an example of why 
ownership of copyright with the company or individual is purely a matter of 
preference and logic...not one of right vs. wrong
c. In terms of 'insatiable curiosity about totally trivial and irrelevant 
things', i have no doubt one can discuss something right until godwin's law is 
invoked ....or more :)

cheers,
- steve
