   As you yourself admitted you are not a Wine devlopper. You may pose
yourself as a 'potential developper' to try to gain legitimacy, but the
truth is you are nothing more than a third party, just like the FSF and
Richard Stallman. This makes your comments no more relevant than those
of any other third party, Richard Stallman and the FSF included.

   Furthermore, it should be clear to anyone who has read your emails
that you are on a personal crusade against Richard Stallman, the FSF and
the *GPL licenses, and that you will post any propaganda that serves
your purpose. Anyone reading your emails should keep this in mind as it
is unclear that you do put Wine's best interests before those of your
campaign.
