I tend to agree with Jerry. Honestly, I think it's a really bad move for
FSF to announce something like this (even if it's a 'leak') without
presenting hard-and-fast reasoning for the possibility. I think the
original poster attempted to point to the fact that the article really
didn't present any sort of legal justification for the apparent threat
(I know I didn't see any), so I can't say if it's valid or not. By doing
so, I think that FSF is as guilty as Microsoft of FUD-slinging.
My 2 cents,
Grant M.
