RMS (speaking in context of the Debian GFDL policy) : «Debian's policy is foolish and unfriendly to us. So we do not cater to it. If they don't like the results, they should change the policy. [...] Debian's policy starts from good motives, but they were too rigid in carrying them out, and reached a foolish conclusion. I wish they would change it, but I can't make them change it.» -- see also http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-06/msg00990.html
