I think the companies that surpass the non-pure version will
sufficiently de-value the non-pure version, and the potential to do this
will attract companies to obtain pure certification.

If required, lets add sufficient financial penalties ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H
membership fees for the non-pure version to fund campaigns and
incentives for those who would become pure.

We do need a pure version, but FSF aims are gained more by existing
companies being made pure, so we ought to chose a model that will tend
towards this behaviour, I realse that we are discussing the best way to
do this.
