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.

These articles concern patents, not copyrights. Patents are an entirely
different form of intellectual property from copyrighted works.
