 I'm not a contributor myself to GNOME, but I suspect that many of
 the contributors are from the "wanting software which doesn't suck"
 category more than they are the "It's freedom baby!  Yeah!" camp.

Please try and characterise the beliefs you're discussing fairly and
evenly, even where you disagree: I'm sure you'd find irksome an
article that constrasted the "wanting software that doesn't take away
freedom" category with the "it works better, so who cares?" camp.

 Actually there is just a small difference between the set of licenses
 that are defined as open source and the set that we define as free
 software.  There is only one known case where we disagree, and that is
 the Apple license.

APSL 1.0, APSL 1.1, or both?
