Hi Richard,

unfortunately it's not about that.
It's about the legal stipulations people from all over the world are asked to sign: asked to abide to US-courts and the like.
A sad thing indeed given all the remarkable work FSF does OTOH. The FSF's credit turns into the bad that way.

Best regards,

Andreas
