And that is what it all comes down to. I also have sympathy for some of the goals of non-free licenses, but they are just that... non-free. In all of the work people have done on the LSB, we made decisions early on to enforce the trademark of the name "LSB" against a written specification, rather than to make portions of software non-free. (Given that most of the software was already written and free, it also wasn't much of a choice.) -drew -- M.
