How does screening of a movie relate to free software users group?

Well the GNU GPLv3 covers many new areas apart from just software... And the main aspect is about the "freedom".
Please send your reply to the mailing list, not privately to me.
Besides, GPLv3 is still a draft and not enforcable. Freedom obtained from GPL doesnt allow you to discuss about movies/reservation politics on a FreeSoftware Mailing list.

Dear Anurag Have you ever been to RMS's website? If you have then, then you will realise that most issues are interconnected in one way or the other. Please try and understand the spirit of the Free Software Movement. It's not just about software... It's about People. Regards Vincent
Hi Vikram,
Dear Anurag Have you ever been to RMS's website? If you have then, then you will realise that most issues are interconnected in one way or the other. Please try and understand the spirit of the Free Software Movement. It's not just about software... It's about People.
Issue is a bit different. RMS never writes about his political views in fsf list.
Reservation is not an issue every one can directly link with freedom/free software. Hence it is offtopic to this list. We dont mind occasional offtopic mails provided they are marked so. On the other hand, your mail on Fanna is on topic i feel. Because it is a direct attack against freedom of expression. Tomorrow some one may say 'Free Software' is banned. We can not allow such situations to happen.
regards, arun
