It is amazing to watch the communication strategy that Free Software

The fanfare and sheer volume of internet posts surrounding the
announcement that the SFLC had filed suit against Best Buy and thirteen
other corporations was impressive.

So apparently the "socialist" goals of the FSF are suspect
but copying and distributing GPL-covered code against the
wishes and exclusive rights of its creators is fine and not
"socialist". This is about the level of reasoning I would
expect from anti-GPL cranks, so I can't say I'm surprised
to see this, but the stupidity is truly astonishing.
