Hi Richard,

need to do that]

Your logic is flawed. I used an implication for a reason. You OTOH
jumped to the unjustified and insulting conclusion that I'm no friend of
the FSF (or better that it appears so). You have no idea who I am, how I
think, or who my friends are, so you should value me based on my actions,
like I now value you based on yours. In fact if I _weren't_ a friend of
the FSF I simply wouldn't have cared how it manages its resources. But
it's not the first time this topic came up (spam on FSF lists), so clearly
there _is_ a problem, and nothing got done about it (at least nothing
which had helped significantly).

You mix "If X can't" and "X can't".
Ciao,
