Re: Squid as GNU software...

RMS political view and agenda is quite well known, but I think I must agree
with a anonymous comment on this article:

http://news.linuxprogramming.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-08-16-002-06-LT-0010

Obviously there is some kind of disagreement between Drepper and RMS. On what
I don't know, and Drepper did not sched any light on this matter.

While I do not fully agree with the agenda of FSF or RMS, I still consider
FSF a good home for a software.
