Of course not. I've distributed mit-licensed code and sent simple patches to a few projects using a variety of licenses, and I don't care to have some assholes like RMS or ESR pretend that I'm part of their movement and support their agendas just because I happen to have distributed source code for free.

I may agree with them on many issues, but people who use the GPL without specifying a version rarely realize that their project are pawns at the mercy of the evolving agenda of the FSF.
Many just want to get the code out of there, freak out at the permissiveness of the BDS-style license, and resort to the only other license they know, without taking the time to learn about the issues.
