«After all, it would be trivially easy for someone at the ASF to make a
counterpoint blogpost recommending AL...» Isn't that precisely what you've
done in the above, Jim ? You seem to ignore the fact that FSF recommended
the following : «[a]nybody who plans to use or contribute to one of these
productivity suites should understand how these policies affect them, and
consider which better complement their own goals», which strikes me as both
objective and reasonable and then, on the basis of its own analysis,
suggested that LibreOffice contributes more to the cause of free software.
What's the beef ?...
