I do no such thing, and for you to say so is disingenuous. My messages are not in any way "hate messages." Rather, they attempt to expose the hatefulness of the "GNU camp" (as you call it) and encourage people not to go along with its extreme and militant positions. These include those of Stallman, Barlow, and others who would instigate a battle rather than broker a peace. By mischaracterizing my efforts, you do nothing but help the instigators. > See, for example, these two recent news >articles: > >http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/africa/newsid_1202000/1202402.stm >http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/americas/newsid_1151000/1151437.stm These articles concern patents, not copyrights.
