My starting point is that we should be worried about the FSF's opinion
about the freeness of our distribution about as much as the FSF
_should_ be worried about our opinion of the GFDL.

If our allies with very similar goals disagree with us on something
important, we should take notice.  That doesn't mean we should just
substitute their opinion for our own, but it should give us pause.
