We know what "to endorse" means, it is to be behind, to approve of, to
give supor and guarantee to meet a certain standard.

When FSF has a stand against PRISM and mentions e.g. Skype in that
relation as member of PRISM while in same time endorses distributions
where software is included that interacts with Skype, that is
contradictory to each other. Software that interacts to PRISM members
is then for thousand times, maybe millions, who knows how many,
distributed from FSF endorsed distributions, and that is conflict, and
gives impression of hypocrisy.

When FSF has a stand and position against centralization of Internet,
promotes decentralization and strongly urges everyone to promote
decentralized Internet, but on the other hand approves and endorses
distributions which do not mind of decentralization, than that is
contradictory, conflict and gives impression of hypocrisy. Thousands
of times users of FSF endorsed distributions will be supported to
connect to centralized network.

Is it now clearer?
