Maynard writes: #He did, though, have the power to prevent the "official" GAWK manual #from mentioning the reference. The comments of the author, about how #working with the soi-disant FSF means playing by their rules, bear this #out. But since you can write your own GAWK manual, it has not been censored. Look, this is getting tiresome. I am not trying to defend what the FSF is doing, but trying to preserve the English (actually American) language. There is a type of person that if someone does something he doesn't like, he calls them a fascist, no matter what the other persons political views are. If someone deletes something they wrote, or their employee wrote, it is censorcism. If RMS were to prevent Jay Maynard, or Dick Dunn from writing a GAWK manual that reference Kernigahn, then that would be censorship.` What the FSF is doing may not be right, but it ain't censorship. #You're working awfully hard to defend the FSF from this charge, #Greg... It ain't them I'm defending. -- -Greg Hennessy, University of Virginia USPS Mail: Astronomy Department, Charlottesville, VA 22903-2475 USA Internet: gsh7w@virginia.edu UUCP: ...!uunet!virginia!gsh7w
