My link was intended to demonstrate a historical pattern of behavior on the part
of the Free Software Foundation, and how their definition of "freedom" involves
coercion to force people into GPL licensing when they didn't actually want to.

I could also have used
https://www.linux.com/news/gpl-requirement-could-have-chilling-effect-derivative-distros
or http://landley.net/notes-2012.html#11-01-2012 or a bunch of others to
illustrate this point, but that link was the chronologically oldest one I could
find with a quick search. (He's explicitly explained why Readline in particular
is GPL not GPL, but the closest I could find was
https://www.oreilly.com/openbook/opensources/book/stallman.html#:~:text=Readline
which is just in-passing. There's an actual writeup on it somewhere. The
readline one was "bait", the binutils one was "trickery", the mepis one was
intimidation (threat of bankruptcy)... sort of escalating over the years. Don't
get me started on Bradley's SFC actions or the 1000+ message LKML thread...)

I'm not sure what your link is attempting to demonstrate. That other people file
IP suits too? That this isn't the only time that organization's wound up in court?
