Anyone can pay £60.00 and become a member even me, its not an elected body or 
an organisation where somebody sponsors you, an individual may feel morally 
responsible for watching what they say due to their association with such a 
group I *personally* *IMO* read some things as having a far deeper meaning 
than "You will no longer be able to copy icons due to government 
legislation" (That's a made up example by the way) Am I being asked to worry 
about the icons? and is there some way the community can persuade the  
creator to amend the copyright or whether the Government is infringing my 
civil liberties?

If its the latter then its not really about icons or software its about 
Government influence.

True, however you generally find in most groups people tend to play follow the 
leader no matter if that supposed position is real or not.

Anyway that's my opinion nothing more nothing less, I look forward to reading 
it again in ten years time.
