Even Stallman himself would call this nonsense you write preposterous.
He is not out for recognition of himself, but for the GNU project.
And not for some general goodness or whatever, but for recognition
where it actually employed, namely in GNU/Linux systems.

And how do you think documentation comes into being?  By writing
itself magically?

If any such communication has happened (which I consider quite
unlikely), this is and remains a valid reply.  You are entitled to
what you bargained for, and for nothing else.

Good, then write a pstricks replacement, 76 page pairs of user manual
and document the workings of the package for others to learn and
benefit from.  Blessings, honour and power be unto you.

Until then, shut up.
