It's in comments section. Check it yourself. Wait... here's some help: http://www.investorvillage.com/smbd.asp?mb=1911&mn=7150&pt=msg&mid=496517 ------ There is an interesting discussion going on on GL, between Linus and PJ, about GPL3. It's kind of hard to follow because Linus posts as anonymous and there are so many other "contributors" to the discussion. Here is a set of links that might be useful in getting through the discussion as pertains to Linus and PJ. http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20060922134536257#c481727 "Kernel developers' position on GPLv3" Anonymous: simply points to a lwn.net article http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20060922134536257&type=article&pid=481727#c481922 "This is really bad news" Anonymous: complains that lwn comments weren't "submitted though gplv3.fsf.org" http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20060922134536257&type=article&pid=481922#c481977 "This is really bad news" Linus (anonymous): answers above, says "they were", discussion starts http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20060922134536257&type=article&pid=481977#c481978 "This is really bad news" Madscientist: asks Linus about inadequacies of GPL 2 http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20060922134536257&type=article&pid=481978#c481991 "This is really bad news" Linus (anonymous): says GPL2 is enough, makes "scare tactics" connection between GPL3 "curtailing rights" and US's "war on terrorism" approach curtailing rights http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20060922134536257&type=article&pid=481991#c481997 "This is really bad news" PJ: concludes that GPL2 is broken because "Tivo" happened, implies that GPL3 "fixes" it http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20060922134536257&type=article&pid=481997#c482040 "This is really bad news" Linus: calls "bullocks" on that one http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20060922134536257&type=article&pid=482040#c482067 "This is really bad news" PJ: Accuses Linus of "argument by putdown" (perhaps the ultimat in pot-kettle) http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20060922134536257&type=article&pid=482067#c482074 "This is really bad news" Linus (anonymous): Ask's PJ to listen to herself. It's still ongoing, and gets easier to follow at this point, I think. People here often discuss the follies of "religious fundamentalism." If that interests you, then this might too, because it is really a similar discussion, but in a context that some would claim is not religious. Wally Bass ------ [...] > > So get over it.

C'mon, dak. Only (fine nines) retarded fanatics like your comrade ams use that torturous editor. As for GCC and glibc... most the code is not written by the FSF. And we all know that Drepper is such a big fan of RMS... http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-announce/2001/msg00000.html (see "And now for some not so nice things." part) ------ This part has a morale, too, and it is almost the same: don't trust this person. Read the licenses carefully and rip out parts which give Stallman any possibility to influence your future. Phrases like [...] GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. just invites him to screw you when it pleases him. Rip out the "any later version" part and make your own decisions when to use a different license since otherwise he can potentially do you or your work harm. ------ regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
