Seriously, though, something belongs in the FAQ
about this stuff, doesn't it?    My third draft was
only one quarter satire; most of it was pretty straight
up.  I can redraft it without the satire if you like.
Don't assume that everyone who asks the question
is trying to cheat or bend the rules; I'm a pretty fierce
free software advocate myself.

I suppose you can just ignore the question, since it only
comes up once a year or two.  Is that how you'd prefer
to handle it?

BTW, happy day for us crazy folk: Cygwin runs well enough
in Wine that it's starting to feel stable.   I'm starting to file
bugs against Wine for the remaining issues.  Why anybody
would want to run Cygwin under Wine I couldn't tell you,
but it makes a spiffy test suite for Wine, and is kind of fun.
