Well, I ask because again your motives for posting are unclear.
For all I know, you're Theo de Raadt, and you're deliberately trying
to drive a wedge between the FSF and Debian out of hatred for
everything GPL and everything that is not OpenBSD.
The last time I asked what your motives were, you acted insulted and
shocked that someone would doubt your motives. But I don't know
*what* your motives claim to be.
There are plenty of people here, like, say, Manoj, who disagree with
me a lot. But it's very clear from everything Manoj writes that he
*does* care that the GPL is effective, he wants Debian to succeed, and
he is committed to the Free Software movement and he does use the GPL
on at least some of what he writes. His commitment to Debian is
manifest, dare I say it, amazing. So while I might disagree with him
about this or that, it would never occur to me to doubt his motives.
But you haven't contributed anything but sniping. Not just to Debian,
but indeed you haven't contributed anything to anything.
Who is John Galt? Well, in the novel he's a fool, if you one actually
manages to plow through enough bad prose to get there. On the Debian
lists? He's a cipher, a zero, a nothing.
There's somebody behind this John Galt who I'd be happy to meet; for
all I know, he's a brilliant guy who's done great things for free
software and is a fan of Debian and wants us to succeed. But John
Galt isn't any of those things.
