I dont understand. "use" is a loose term. For that matter my own
organisation uses gcc heavily just because "its a great tool and it
works.". Has nothing to do with the philosophy. Infact there are
serious differences between the organisation's ideals and the FSF or
the GPL. Do people ("ethical people"[?]) have to credit FSF just
because they use the tool? Just curious because I might use free tools
for things *completely* irrelevant to software.
