You know what I can't stand... Bullying! That's what's going on
here.
I'm the operator on an #openbsd channel, and I know exactly what
happens when somebody start ranting about how {GPL, Windows,
Linux, FreeBSD,...} sucks. Another guy is a happy user and before
you know it you have a flamewar going on.
So whenever somebody brings up a sensitive subject like that, I
say something like `This channel is for people who love OpenBSD,
not for people that hate XXX'
That's how I keep the peace, the channel friendly and the
discussions interesting.
And I do the same the other way around when people start whining
about BSD related stuff.
But when I defend with rational arguments and in a polite way the
merrits of the GPL percieved as by many developers and companies
_without_ insulting the BSD license, but merely by pointing out a
practical problem, I get flamed, insulted, threatened and called a
troll!
That... is bullying! That is a what people do who _want_ flamewars
and insults to keep flying.
So you think the GPL is fair game? Go ahead, remove all the
GPL-licensed code from OpenBSD!
All I want is respect for the opinion the other guys, just like I
defend *BSD when someone starts ranting against it!
