I have to agree with Yavor here.  I mean remember the advert/notice is
supposed
to go on the GNU website!  People reading the advert will be exactly the
kind of
people who Yavor mentions, ie, GNU advocates, "freedom fighters" (or wannabe
freedom fighters). :-)

And I would really welcome a few more of those freedom fighters, because
they are
usually very committed to changing things for the better, and work hard.

By the way, that's more or less how I got involved in GNUstep ... ;-)

Thanks
