[Fwd: ] The inquiry about EFF

To Sir/Madam,
Why are most/all software of EFF licensed under the GPL?
EFF is not FSF, right? Excuse, but, are you promoting information/speech
freedom or Stallmanism?
Is EFF inclined towards copyleft parties or is it neutral?
Excuse again, but do you think people who use BSD licenses are idiots?
Google, FreeBSD, etc.
If you change the license of software to BSD-like one (or MPL-like, at
least) or at least all Chrome plugins, BSD community will be much happy.

Thank you

I think the idea of inquiring about the EFF licences to be a good one
but I hardly think this email is well written. Are you a native
speaker of English? The tone of the email sounds accusatory and
rant-like.

Perhaps something like

Why are most/all software of EFF licensed under the GPL? The GPL's
restrictions preclude a large number of users from freely using the
