Happy new year, followers of the faith.

Does GNU proffer an official statement regarding "best efforts" adoption
of its "live free or die" moral stance?  Something along the lines of,
"We denounce and eschew proprietary software until it becomes too
impractical."

I'll apply the benefit of the doubt that the tens or so readers of
gnu.misc.discuss have forsworn Google.com searches and bourgeois
conveniences like Amazon.com.  I'll even presume the true believers have
fabricated their own motherboards to avoid chipmakers' firmware.

But their evasion of closed source can't be perfect ipso facto their
being able to read this very email message whose non-deterministic
network hops must have included a router running classified code.
