Wrong! If you are not protecting your rights. You are running into the
danger that you loose a case because you did accept the wrong behaviour
too long in case you had detailed information years before.

Just threadening with sueing is simply an action of FUD.

I therefore make the following _personal_ offer to you and RMS:

I will link GNU Emacs to kde and distribute the resulting source and
binary to you and RMS. 

You then have to sue ME or shut up!

Sorry for my harsh words. But it looks to me like some people are trying
to keep kde people from making even better free software because they do
have trouble to succeed with their own competing project.

Anybody who's comfortable using KDE should use it. Anyone who wants to
tell other people what they should be using can go to work for Microsoft.
