Matthias, Rui,
I know AFUL from the past as an organistation that honestly fights for software freedom. So far I have not read up about the details of the campaign in question, so I do not have an opinion on it - yet. They might be misslead or not. I do have an opinion on the style of communication, though:

I think the title of your organisation is dishonest, because you violate your own statutes. I suggest to either change your title and statutes or to stop your campaign and to apologise to your members.

If some Free Software advocates take it as they're taking it already, then you better be prepared for an austrich egg flying towards you at the speed of light.
Please retain some respect in communications. Even if you are angry and strongly disagree with the campaign, it is not helpful to be aggressive like this. You should better make a clear argument and explain why you believe it is a bad idea - so that others like me can understand it faster and then can help others to understand it better.
Regards, Bernhard ps.: Please keep fsfe-de@ out of the recipient lists for the topic until there is a very good reason. It is a German speaking list and while it is okay to occasionally post something relevant there, I do not think this full discussion belongs there.
