You didn't sound like a guy having things to do, a life to get on with,

PJ, please stop feeding the troll

PJ,
Why do you keep quoting Alex Terekhov as though he were some sort of
authority?
(That's both a straight and a rhetorical question).
That poster is a plain troll and a spammer; intelligent, devious,
abusive, foul-mouthed, patronising, and allround thoroughly
objectionable. Together with several anonymous posters, he has
destroyed the gnu-misc-discuss mailing list. The archive of the
mailing list is at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-misc-discuss/
Not so long ago, this list was vibrant and interesting, with
discussions over a broad range of subjects, and its loss is a
loss indeed.
Whilst the validity and bounds of the GPL are certainly on topic for
gnu-misc-discuss, these posters started foghorning it on the list,
perhaps two or three years ago. The plain nastiness caused bona-fide
posters to unsubscribe, and the list is now dead. Perhaps that was
the intention. Arguments that they are fouling up somebody else's
patch and trespassing on FSF resources are ignored, as are other
appeals to decency.
When the FSF created the mailing list it also created a usenet
gateway to it, but mistakenly decided not to make the corresponding
newsgroup moderated. Those were the early days of forums, and the
people setting them up naively assumed that other posters would be,
in the main, convivial and decent. It is through Usenet that these
posters post.
PJ, every time you mention Terekhov as though he were in some way
important, you'll be sending him a gratifying tingle, encouraging
him to carry on with his spamming and trolling. This is most
galling to those of us who have expended countless hours
neutralising his FUD and trying to save the gnu-misc-discuss
list.
Please, don't feed the trolls. Not even this one.

What happened that you've changed, Alan?
