   s/recommendation/linking/ and the point remains valid.
   http://www.gnu.org/brave-gnu-world/intro.en.html also says:
   "The release date is coordinated to appear simultaneously
   with Linux-Magazin."  It's obvious there was assistance.

A wonderful, now you simply change your argumentation.  There is a
huge difference between linking to a site that happens to do something
remotley related, and distributing, and supporting non-free software.
Can you please show where the GNU project and/or the FSF recommends,
supports and condones the usage of non-free software?  You have up to
this point not done so, only come with utterly vauge linkage to some
magazine that is about GNU/Linux.

I have shown specific examples of where Debian supports and
distributes non-free software, Sun Java.  Please show where the FSF
and/or GNU project do anything similar, or please stop your FSF/GNU
hate rampage.
