They also claim that Microsoft's distribution of *vouchers* (think
of a currency to buy service units for Suse Linux) containing zero
lines of GPL'd code somehow requires permission from copyright
owners in GPL'd code and makes Microsoft become a party to the GPL
license (making Microsoft subject to GPL conditions/obligations
regarding Linux code).
Moglen and his underlings at FSF ("GPL compliance engineering" LOL)
and his personal "charity" firm SFLC is a bunch of morons fond of
spouting legal nonsense as pro bono service to utter lunatic RMS
and his "philosophy" followers.
