Yes, I did. Went through all of them one by one, showing that they were 
not compatible with the OSD, and analyzed the idea of putting 
restrictions on the USE of software versus the DISTRIBUTION of software. 
No response from Coraline. Why not? Because the ESD's very *goal* is 
contrary to the goal of the OSD.

There is no mutual ground for discussion.
