The old way was to tell contributors about various choices of which form to use, and ask each contributor to figure out which one was right for per case, That led to confusion a substantial fraction of the time. The new way is to ask them for the crucial information and have FSF staff tell each contributor which options apply to per own case. This avoids the confusion. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
