I hate when someone tries to force rules on someone else work. I respect
FSF and the whole GNU project.. but it seems to me they are going far
away the concept of "freedom".
I don't know if they have any rights over the whole GNUPIC name... if yes,
then they have the rights on everything that matches /.*GNU.*/.
anyone remembers the recent issue with SSH and OpenSSH? anyway
we might just change the name to avoid troubles..
What about OpenPIC ?
