No, I just didn't think back then about the license so much; I did not realise what kind of dickheads and fuckwits the FOSS herd is composed of. Call me naive if you want. But as the project started to gain popularity, you get a lot of people complaining and asking help for ancient versions distributed by the distributions that also have in the meanwhile become more powerful, and gained more central control over conveniently installable software. And at the same time FOSS detoriorates by forcing the anti-aliasing fascist fontconfig/Xft nearly everywhere, and now the herd modifies the version of Ion their distros carry to use that crap, which I will have nothing to do with until my demands [1] are met. When I first started out on Ion, I had hope in FOSS. All that has been lost now. Most people are dickheads and fuckwits everywhere, no matter their proclaimed ideals of so-called "freedom". FOSS licenses are only for naive people and those who go with the herd. As should be apparent, I don't. [1]: http://iki.fi/tuomov/ion/faq/entries/Blurred_fonts.html -- Tuomo
