I still have our email discussion between you, me and rms from June
1997 where you clearly state that you considered having wavefront
sources out in the public to be so dangerious that you would seriously
consider not giving wavefront releases to customers who were
exercising their GPL rights and giving them to me.  You specifically
used the example of Stallman getting steamed that a Linux distribution
released an internal version of gcc that he didn't intend for public
consumption to support your position.
