Mister GNU Richard Stallman replied me two times on this, since he did 
not mail LKML, I will restate them here, for the record.

|"Available source" is too weak a criterion.  Free software and open
|source stand for categories of software that are nearly coterminous.
|However, available source is a much weaker criterion and would
|include programs that don't come anywhere near free.
|
|Also, the point of the free software movement is that users deserve
|freedom.  "Available source" doesn't even hint at this idea,
|so it would not communicate what we want to say.

Not even an acknowledgement on pointer variables from this 
self-appointed spokesman for hackers. Or indeed the larger issue of 
finegranulated internet economics. How shall an OS indeed succeed if it 
chokes its own success?

To not speak of the paranoid insertions. Does he fear mountains shall 
fall on him, for GNU? Indeed GNU seems to be his qualifier and god, he 
slaves to.

Or is gnu, a god to slave to, free software your food, and Richard 
Stallman its Jesusian son? Will it be up to others to make the decision?

How much is this in conflict with pure hacking, from C64 asm, to PC C, 
and the original unix hacking?

Have a Mindful Zen moment on this.
