FSF considers many things not permissible, that thrive despite their harsh judgment. So what's the purpose of saying "permissible" then? According to whom and why?

FSF is an ideological organization, they're a bit like the religious equivalent of some clergy in the far East.

Yes I know a circle of people respect FSF a lot and pay attention every time they wave their fingers at someone. The same is also true of the ayatollah when he issues a fatwa. And then the world keeps spinning and nothing changes.
