Sorry, as I said to Clement Pit-Claudel, I should have (and intended to)
write this sentence in the past tense. I mistakenly wrote it in the
present tense. It was clarified to me by other messages on this thread
that this is not part of the FSF's policy. When I wrote the word
"hypocritical," that was not clarified to me.

Right, this is what I was not aware of in my original message where I
used the word "hypocritical."

I am not trying to put anyone "in the wrong." If I were, this would be a
rather different (uglier) debate.
