That is indeed our policy, but I think this case doesn't fall under it. This is not a matter of supporting a proprietary program. Rather it is a matter of talking remotely with a server.

It's just a practical technical matter. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
