I don't see that.  They are "volunteers" in terms of what they choose to
contribute to the FSF, but not at all such in terms of what they *work on*.
And I thought that discussion was about the latter.


I refrained from replying that because I think discussing the
semantics of the word 'volunteer' when applied to for-profit companies
or more precisely for individuals that work in for-profit companies is
way off-topic and not very helpful in order to solve the problem at
hand.

Cheers,
