I don't think the FSF is prepared to change their licensing practise
no matter how eloquent statements we can draft here. IIRC, a couple of
iterations back we had a subthread on d-l where Stallman himself
participated. He did not seem to attach any particular weight by our
objections.

The three initial of Branden's proposed actions do not seem to be
hostile. They say that we make up our mind and draft a self-contained
descriptions of why we think the invariant-section stuff (etc.) is
evil. Surely that is a prerequisite for doing *anything* else than
bitch about the problem internally on debian-legal.
