THE FREE Software Foundation’s (FSF) bold attempt to recruit Bono in its fight against digital rights management seems to be falling on stony ground, deaf ears and other matters hard and obtuse.A week ago we reported on a superb open letter by FSF freedom fighters to the popular Irish singer.

It begins in the manner of George Galloway’s infamous salute to an infamous, non-rock star, ego-crazed monster:

“Dear Bono, You have dedicated a major part of your life’s work to fighting for good causes, bringing pressure to bear on the powerful and political elite to effect positive change.”

Snip through a bit and it moves on to the central thrust:
