- You are confusing the EFF (Electronic Freedom Frontier) with
- the FSF (Free Software Foundation)
-
- Actually, this sounds like the League for Programming Freedom (LPF) more than
- the EFF. The LPF is the group that is calling for the boycott of Apple
- products due to the Look and Feel lawsuit, and the FSF is agreeing with the
- boycott. The FSF and LPF and fairly closely linked organizations.
-
- The Electronic Frontier Foundation is generally interested in broader
- computer issues, like the FBI wiretap bill, and the seizing of Steve Jackson
- Games, and the like, although if you looked in their newsgroup nowadays, you'd
- think it was a organization for debating the virtues of Libertarianism. :-)
