There have been claims of such affirmations, but a review of the
amendement thread shows no references to support those claims. I know
RMS wrote in 2003 that he *supposed* it didn't restrict encryption or
file access control on all copies, but "that's a new one on me" and he'd
ask a lawyer. Soon after, he refused to discuss FDL with us further.
Where is RMS's claim about the interpretation of the anti-DRM phrases?
I am mildly irritated that a GR can pass with only claims of evidence,
rather than showing actual evidence. Smoke and mirrors.

You're overrunning the campaign period, so apparently not!
I'm not going to comment on the DPL-related questions now. It's vote time.
