you know, there IS a logical falacy of guilt by association. before you
oycot the FSF and the registration office that handled their NGO
registration, and the entire govenrment of the country that enploys that
registration clerk, and so on, I suggest we stop and call on the FSF
spokespeople to give their opinion on the matter and maybe resolve it
otherwise.

two sideline remarks:
1. As I mentioned in my blog post, I don't see the financial boycott as
a problem, and I'm even hoping it started moving something, but I have a
real problem with justifying the academic BDS. however after I saw this
Item, I wonder what will I do if more and more Universities ד‚?ere proven
to act the same:

2. As usuall, I am suprised how appropriate my random signature comes
out :-)
