It limits a lot of contributions, yes. It's certainly "unfree". But I still signed it happily, even if I agree with a lot of op's points.

In my case I need the FSF to defend any evil actions which did happen before with these type of packages (libredwg), and will happen again. I certainly don't want to be at the end of such a lawsuit or infringement claim (like illegally using a trademark), and I'm happy that the FSF will defend us. Even if the external contributions are 10x lower than with a non-gnu project and it's a pain.
