Yet on Richard's side of this fence, emacs and gcc _directly include_ code which lets users use those two pieces of software on commercial operating systems. The gcc and emacs developers -- led by Richard -- have decided the directly include support for commercial operating systems in their respective distributions. Hell, the OpenBSD ports tree should perhaps contain patches which REMOVE such commercial operating system support. That's a fork Richard would surely approve of. Richard, your pants are full of hypocritical poo.
