Thanks, Adam, I will attempt to avoid engaging Gerald Henriksen
further on this list regarding this topic.

ad your claim that the EULA fraud is unrelated to Microsoft's
abuse of the UEFI: Of course, the EULA fraud and the UEFI fraud
of "SecureBoot" (when it is Microsoft's kernel that is booted)
are part of the same campaign to end free software.

I will also not engage you further in this topic, beyond, I hope,
posting a general summary of my positions on this nexus of
difficulties.

Thanks, Adam, for posting and expressing your position so
clearly.

oo--JS.
