FSF revoking MLP's Lifetime Achievement Award

Much love to Dear Reader Derek for sending us this statement that Peter
Brown of the Free Software Foundation sent out to freetard mailing lists
this morning:

"Obviously the community of freedom is deeply saddened and disappointed
by Sun's decision to join Microsoft and sell un-free Windows software.
In the recent past Sun has worked closely with the Free Software
Foundation and the free community to help develop the specifications for
the GPLv3. We've been hopeful that Sun would endorse the GPLv3 and adopt
it for Sun products including Java and Solaris. Clearly now Sun has
decided to move in a different direction and has declared itself to be
an enemy of freedom. We think this is a wrong decision and one that will
prove disastrous for Sun. To show our displeasure the Free Software
Foundation has revoked the Lifetime Achievement Award which we had
intended to present to Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz during our Software
Freedom Day festivities in Boston on 15 September 2007.

"We urge all friends of software freedom to boycott Sun products
including all applications that use the Java programming language. We
furthermore urge members and friends to encourage their employers to
remove all Sun equipment from their data centers and to replace that
equipment with products that do not restrict freedom. Additionally, the
Software Freedom Law Center has begun an investigation into certain
allegations of malfeasance by Sun. If these are found to be true, SFLC
and FSF will pursue remedies to these violations up to and including
legal action to bring Sun into compliance. More information is available
on our Web site, www.fsf.org. Thank you."
