Sorry if it was not clear, but that Chinese molecule test snippet is 
from Amazon's amicus curiae brief. RMS merely urged to not buy 
anything from Amazon (in addition to RMS' boycotts of Caterpillar, 
Exxon-Mobil, Coca Cola Company, Chinese products, and Harry Potter 
books).

("Amicus curiae Amazon.com, Inc., is an e-commerce technology leader 
whose engineers develop innovative designs for the operation of Web 
stores, and specify those designs using digital software codes. From 
the United States, Amazon.com transmits some of its engineers’ 
designs, in the form of digital software codes, for use by foreign 
Web store computers.")

Amazon simply want to limit the liability for all those allegedly 
infringed IBM's patents. ;-)
