Hi Bastien,

Thanks for the response and sorry for my delay; I was traveling.

To my considerable surprise and pleasure, my email to the relevant
gnu.org address got a reply in under 48h. The synopsis is that gnu and
the FSF are only concerned about employer claims for those employed to
program or those studying comp sci at uni. Hence, I shall send my
papers in shortly. It may, however, take some considerable time
nonetheless; I am given to understand that mail from Egypt to the US
is both unreliable and extremely slow. Once all is settled, expect
patches :-)

Thanks and best,

Brian vdB
