+1 - maybe we need a sage-gpl-flame group soon :)

Well, IMHO that seems to be a fair trade off. After all: The FSF is a
social movement. If this were about drinking the FSF cool aid to get
listed there I would be opposed to that. I have little love for the
FSF and consider myself an Open Source guy, so my feelings toward the
FSF are definitely not neutral.
A last remark: The above mentioned FSF campaign isn't exactly well
known and doesn't have too much reach AFAIK outside the FSF crowd. I
am ware of it, but that is because I often end up on the FSF website
for various reasons. I wouldn't worry too much about it and the OP
just quoted the FSF about "Open Source missing the point". Fair
enough, there are philosophical differences. Nothing to see here, go
along ;). In the end discussing this here will just lead to an all-out
flame fest, so I am stopping now.
