With reference to this and to some of the other suggestions and comments that
have appeared on this list, why then so cagey in relation to IBM/Red Hat/
Mandrake/ SuSE/ Whoever?
All of these organisations are at least supportive of free software, even if
some have proprietary/commercial interests too. Why then would FSFE-UK seek to
avoid close so-operation with these entities as suggested previously.

which is partially broken ( FAQ page references to non-existant css files)...
perhaps this page should also include some relevant contact info, at least for
the webmaster.
