I wasn't going to reply but anyway what is your opinion of this pasted

Welcome to the FSF Compliance Lab and the home of the GNU General Public
License!

The Compliance Lab has been an informal activity of the FSF since 1992
and was formalized in December 2001. We handle all licensing-related
issues for FSF. We serve the free software community by providing the
public with a "knowledge infrastructure" surrounding the GNU GPL and
free software licensing, and enforcing the license on FSF-copyrighted
software.

Are they also talking out the backs of their heads?
