Why is it an attack? He has said the same thing of all the major linux distros for the longest time. That is the thing that is bothering me. His view is that if you help users, or point them to proprietary software, that's unfree. He has said the same thing about almost all the linux distros. And gotten flamed for it, by the very same people who're distributing software using the license he wrote. Might it be that he didn't understand his own license, or that the people flaming him didn't understand his view and his license? -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.
