Hi,

For a couple of months, Richard Stallman and I have been working on the GNU 
Accessibility Statement (GAS)  which takes a no nonsense approach to 
endorsing the rights of people with disabilities as regard software within 
the context of free software. I've never read a more strongly worded 
statement from any organization regarding software and people with 
disabilities.

GAS also takes a strong stance on free software values but does not endorse 
any specific license, although we would like people to use GPL.

You can read the statement at: 
http://www.gnu.org/accessibility/accessibility.html
and send comments to me that we can consider for future revisions of the 
statement.

Thanks,
cdh
