Re: [libreplanet-discuss] GNU pricing

". However, the intellectual property owners, the Free Software 
Foundation, don't make a cent from it."

This term "IP" I feel should not be used even if it is for humour. 
There's nothing property-like about being able to part-enslave other 
people's freedoms to increase your chance at making a buck. Everytime it 
is used, it reinforces wrong thinking.

I would write, "However, the exclusive privilege holders," OR "However, 
the monopoly privilege holders,"
