i guess the only real way to respond is cheer and support those who are
really fighting for freedom. Those who want to ``bother us with politics"
are best ignored. At the end of the day the people who are actually
contributing to Free Software, even in the smallest possible way are the
ones who are going to change the world. Those who want to just have public
spats and quote big names, are free to do that. At the end of the day it
really achieves nothing except a waste of time and energy.

If someone has violated GPL, or even plagiarised someone's genuine copyrite
of a GPL'd program then it is a matter of concern and something must be
done. Though i personally doubt this case qualifies as one.

The only thing we can so is continue spreading awareness amoung the people
around us, and beyond of what Free Software is all about and why it's
important.
