If you really believe they are bluffing, then call them on it.  Violate the 
GPL based on a linking issue and let the whole world, including the FSF, know 
about it.  Then we'll *all* find out if they are bluffing, and/or whether the 
GPL can stand up in court.  So far I hear a lot of bitching, yet no one who 
believes the GPL is wrong has put their money where their mouth is and taken 
the FSF/GPL to court.  *You* may absolutely convinced its wrong, but you 
aren't the judicial system, so excuse me if wait to hear from a *judge* 
whether the GPL is valid or not.
