They are quite relevant. Jeremy White said, in an earlier message, that he had consulted with Eben Moglen, the FSF's attorney. Moglen's goal is not to help the WINE project but to advance the FSF's agenda even if it hurts the WINE project.

Both are relevant. If they adopt the FSF's license, the WINE developers will be advancing the FSF's agenda at their own expense.
As you yourself admitted you are not a Wine devlopper. You may pose yourself as a 'potential developper' to try to gain legitimacy, but the truth is you are nothing more than a third party, just like the FSF and Richard Stallman. This makes your comments no more relevant than those of any other third party, Richard Stallman and the FSF included.
Furthermore, it should be clear to anyone who has read your emails that you are on a personal crusade against Richard Stallman, the FSF and the *GPL licenses, and that you will post any propaganda that serves your purpose. Anyone reading your emails should keep this in mind as it is unclear that you do put Wine's best interests before those of your campaign.
