The GPL does not allow the flexibility in opinion the way you think it does.
The license is very clear. You either violate or you follow it.

 

Your behavior on this list is unbecoming for a number of reasons and I am
glad you are taking a permanent leave.

 

1.      Failing to understand the meaning of the GPL

2.      Wearing that Anthrax Tux logo as a symbol of pride

3.      Using an alias even after we had to dox you to figure out your stake
in this whole mess

4.      Top posting your comments

 

Have a nice day.

 

-        Eric

This reply goes to everyone who doesn't think there are opinions floating
around in this list.

 

Thank you for the civil replies.  I realize that the majority on this list
holds an opinion that Chad is in violation of the GPL.  It appears to me
there is more than one way to understand the meaning of the GPL.  And while
I have read everyone's opinions I have to respectfully disagree with the
majority as I see this leaning in different ways.  I do see some merit in
both sides however I am unconvinced that there is or is not a violation.
And I am not one to go with the majority since to often I have seen that the
majority was wrong.  I could quote some historic examples if needed.  I do
respect everyone's opinions and look forward to the day when we can all
agree.  I'll also refrain from posting just to argue as that will get us
nowhere.


All the best,

SonWon
