Actually, it's quite different. The FSF tell you upfront what the
requirements are. The OSMF let you spend years working on the
project, then change their minds. Then they tell you that because
you've done part of your work in a (now incompatible) licence, all
your work must go. Then they say, no, we'll let you split it up, but
that seems to have gone away again. It's not the end result I object
to, it's the mushroom treatment.
