Personally, I have an issue with people who are perceived to not do
anything having a power of veto over the project. I say perceived
because the FSF campaigns team might do all sorts of stuff for gNS, but
its not public/obvious.
My other thought goes something like 'why should the fsf stop gNS
becoming no complient?'. If it does, the FSF should stop
supporting/endorsing it. If it doesn't, then it should be able to roll
along as it needs/wants.
