Can someone from the FSF comment on whether this is relevant or not for
this list? This topic generates a lot of discussion but (I would bet
money) not any actual activism opportunities for the FSF or local
LibrePlanet groups.

Personally, I got sick of this topic years ago on the p2p-research
mailing list. It was one of the many factors that lead to the
signal:noise ratio on that list tipping into the negative.

I seem to remember John Sullivan saying it was more appropriate for
gnu-misc-discuss, but I could be misremembering.
