i do not think it is precicesly a 'legal' reason but more the divergance
in doctrines.  RMS' statement about not accepting people into a
community because they choose not to join is the fundamental issue.
freedoms cannot be given or taken away or chosen, they are rights of
a free individual, all we can do as a society is choose to recognise
them or not.  this is an issue that we should talk about forever
because basically it is far more important than software.
