   As explained months ago in
   http://mailman.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/discussion/2006-February/005538.html
   comparing ftp.debian.org with ftp.ibiblio.org is more accurate, as
   the debian.org and gnu.org name policies are different.  The main
   GNU ftp server also distributes non-free software.

ftp.gnu.org does not distribute non-free software.

   No more than GNU develops non-free software because some of its
   developers also support non-free software.  That is, not at all.

GNU doesn't develop non-free software.  Nor does GNU support non-free
software.  That some contributors send patches for that things work
with non-free software does not mean that GNU supports or develops
non-free software.

Please stop tossing mud at the FSF and the GNU project with these
false and absurd accusations.
