Not only name change.  Read the license itself.  The insulting
wordings RMS put in their must appall any decent person.  I'm 100%
against this change which is supported only to make businesses happy.
I haven't written a single line of code with this goal and so this
change is counter all I ever intended.

I'll write more when I have time.  I hope that all who enforced this
stupid change on us will walk with brown paper bags on their heads.
I'm disgusted and can assure you that each of you dropped
significantly in my opinion of you.
