I was uncomfortable with that, but it's not clear that he was
describing as broadly you said and it didn't seem worth picking
up now. If you must pick it up, please don't exaggerate.

Some of those blog authors have been trolling debian-legal, but
most go from press misreports. Help out if you can.

Nice choice of cut-off. Been reading Darrell Huff lately?
4 of the posted top 10 are not developers. 2 of those 4 are in
NM. I doubt the other 2 are doing it as a profession and it's
probably a matter of opinion whether you'd call them trouble-
makers. Have they inflamed threads to your notice? Could you
reply to -legal or -project?
