The subject of this thread was *supposed* to have changed to be about GNU
and the FSF and whether it benefits GCC to be linked to them, not about RMS.

The fact that some people insist on seeing that question as another attack
on RMS is not helpful, and is part of the problem with being linked to the
cult of GNU. We can't question whether FSF benefits GCC without being
reminded that RMS started the project, and so he must be involved.

I still can't find where in the four freedoms it says anything about
venerating the project leader.
