I understand your point.  I guess I just still hold out hope that the
FSF may one day again publish documentation under a license that's
compliant with the DFSG...

;-)  Actually, I wrote that.  Way back when, I'm the one who dreamed up
the package, came up with the name, and wrote the man page.  The
motivation was a conversation a guy who used to work for me (Bill
Geddes) was having with RMS about Debian non-free.  Bill wrote the
original Perl implementation of vrms.  None of that is particularly
important, except to assure you that I'm completely aware that vrms has
never really fulfilled the original vision I/we had for it...

Do you care about this enough to want to help work on vrms?
