ROFL again, obviously you have no idea what you are talking about, and asking me to admit I'm wrong is hysterical. Stallman's first job was with IBM, and he wrote the IPL license for them, as admitted right on the IBM website.

It's painfully apparent who needs to admit their facts are faulty. However, if you need a hint as to who that is, please let me know. Thnx.

From your link.

"The IBM Public License (IPL) is also a free software license. It was created with the help of FSF founder Richard Stallman."

He may have helped create it, but he wasn't the main developer of said license. Seeing as IBM wanted to make it as GPL compatable as possible it would only make sense to deal with the FSF/RMS.
