In addition--
The only reason why there are multiple Long Distance companies now, is because of Divestiture. Also--from my understanding, they divested on their own, albeit due to a pending forced split.
The point of that argument is to draw a parallel between Linus' statements regarding the whole "Tridge" thing, and how they apply to reverse engineering projects elsewhere (OpenOffice for the MS Office compatibility, SAMBA for reverse engineering SMB over-the-wire, etc..)
It was saying that Linus' attacks on Tridge might-as-well-have-been attacks on OpenOffice, or other compatibility based projects.
I'm pretty sure that since he is the original author (and copyright holder), he is free to release an alternate version with any license he sees fit...
It is derivative works, I believe, that are covered by copyleft.
20 years of "Software wants to be free" got nearly zero traction in the business world. ((Whether or not that is a good thing is left to you to decide))
A couple of years of Open Source evangelism on the part of many (not just ESR), and there are businesses based on the model.
I love the FSF, GNU and all that... but there definitely was a place for a different and less hippy-lovie approach if the rest of the world was to appreciate this...
PS- why anonymous? It's not like your post was as stark, raving or OT as the "Old Ike" post...

Perhaps leave the "geek-speak" and have a section for non-geeks?
Something like:
"Dude, this is really bad, your mp3s could be TOAST"
>>statisc data files ..
>>malfromed photos,
malformed english?
..who knows--it might wind up looking like PERL...
Did you see the rest of the replies to RMS's email?
Maybe Amazon used books would help?
I'm pretty sure this can be done now (with Mozilla)
He could also _work_ at some place with an internet connection, and commute 60 miles in rural territory..
So what you're saying is "With a name _like_ Swindle, he's gotta be trustworthy"?
"Chuck Swindoll"?
It sounds like a bad Simpsons joke...
Have you seen The Tunes Project?. It sound like what you claim to want, even if it's still a work in progress...

I think all of these "ESR wants fame" posts definitely miss the point... I stumbled upon his insight when I first encountered Open Source...
Every day I don't see my current employer there, I consider a good day.
