[Open-graphics] Discussions with Richard Stallman

[Timothy Miller]

Here's my motivation regarding the whole deal with RMS and the FSF:

Of the FSF and the OSI and OSDL and any other such so-called "FOSS"
organization, the FSF was the first to contact us.  That makes me like
the FSF very much more than those who have not seen fit to pay
attention to our project.  In other words, if someone thinks we're
important, I'm inclined to think they're important too.  The FSF have
offered to give us publicity.  Although RMS seems to be generally
insistant on preferring certain words over others, he does not appear
to have placed any conditions on us other than to ask that we support
Free Software (which is our raison d'etre anyhow).  In return for them
doing what I consider to be a HUGE favor, I think we should be happy
to concede to a few of their requests, such as preferring the word
"Free" over "Open," and other such minor adjustments to our language.

Note that I have no interested in badgering anyone about it.  I just
think this is a good tit-for-tat thing to do.
