I never thought that you did; if you had then this debate would probably
had been over long ago. However, I do believe he would qualify as a
counterexample to the hypothesis that "Anyone who is serious about free
software immediately recognises the LPPL as a non-free license." Whereas
this hasn't been claimed on this list (that I know of), there has on
occasion been quick dismissals of the LPPL where that hypothesis seems to
have been taken for granted. :-)
