It participated in the discussion that raged on debian-legal a while ago.
I stated some points, but I never presented my opinion as a whole.
I felt that others were already making my points quite adequately,
and that's just the way a mailing list discussion works.

Now that the discussion has died down (awaiting a response from the FSF),
it might be worthwhile for me to summarize my position.  If all the
participants did that and put it on a web page somewhere, it would be
a good introduction for people who missed the debate the first time
around.  I haven't had the energy, though.
