Maybe true, but not "nice" response to a very valid concern.

I hope that the "don't recommend (or even mention?) non-free doc"
isn't part of the LEGAL statement.

Hopefully, is just rms' hope and desire for the way things
actually work out.

Once it becomes LEGALLY part of gnu-thingie, maybe gnu/fsf
will be in trouble from LOTS of software maintainers, not just
lynx.  Maybe then he'll soften his position.

Even the republicans in the senate are raising trial baloons
on stopping this impeachment thing -- they are getting feedback
from the voters!
