no.  The iPhone "goes on sale" at 6pm (local time) on June 29. 
Scheduling a press conference for the GPLv3 a mere 6 hours previous is 
sheer stupidity.

yes, I offer you my apologia.

If the iPhone ends up as an object of status (or perhaps only 'desire'), 
then I can see a situation develop whereby those "lucky few" who stand 
in line for one are subsequently relieved of their shinny new phone via 
violence or threats thereof.

Is that clear enough?

Billy Joel has a song titled, "Angry Young Man", they lyrics of which 
remind me of Stallman.  Google for it.

cave fatuum!
