The fact that the WMF didn't even attempt to apply public pressure to the FSF suggests to me that you didn't do a very good job of negotiating on our behalf.
Under certain circumstances, that's exactly what we would have done, but obviously such a strategy carries in it inherent risks that the entire process will fail. Richard originally asked us for conditions we could not accept; we negotiated to modify them, and the aforementioned agreement represents a compromise.
