The Largest Cult in the world: GNU/GPL
I can only imagine that your pain is proportional to the length of your post, but really, it's all in your head. The FSF believes that someone who obtains software should have the freedom to run it, read it, modify it, and share it. While they would like this to be true for all software, they invented the GPL so that like-minded developers could insure this freedom for the software they wrote. There are other software developers who do not want their users to have these freedoms, but would like to incorporate GPLed software into the products they supply to their users. The FSF is happy to have these programmers inconvenienced, and their complaints about being unable to share in the GPL's bounty is sweet music. Many of these complaints degenerate into desperate ad hominem attacks and insane rants, as we see here. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
