Unfortunately that has been a recurrent discussion topic. See <a href="http://mailman.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/discussion/2006-June/005859.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> for the last one I remember. As for Certified Open, I can't say anything about internal FSFE documents and decisions. I can only suggest you to ask publicly, like posting your question to the above mentioned mailing list discussion. I'm curious to know about those rumors, too...

As far as I remember it never got a lot of attention. Supporting "Open certified" it's a completely different thing. I've already reported a couple of links to the press release you're referring to, asking Georg for an explanation. I didn't get any direct answer yet, only rumors about possible reasons. Any idea?
