I strongly agree. Inhibiting users' freedom to choose other *free* software,
because that other free software is not part of the GNU project, makes it
sound like the ubiquity of the GNU project, and not user freedom, is the goal.
I understand believing that "GNU everywhere" could increase freedom due to the
nature of the GPL, but now it starts to sound a lot more like "freedom to use
what the FSF thinks you should use", rather than real freedom -- especially
when the FSF's choices are less capable than other free alternatives.
