Thank you for the clarification. I didn't read it or don't remember it. And I signed it because I thought I was advancing the FSF's goals. But now I went and read it. My assignment from 2012 thanks me for my contribution, emphatically. But indeed it does not say I support this or that cause. I guess all I'm saying I wouldn't voluntarily "contribute" to the Freedom-denying Software Foundation, is all. Jo=C3=A3o
