Re: Why is no one discussing this anymore? - Attack the messaging rely, not the message!

Lieutenant Ts'o: I see that you have adopted the strategy of "Attack the messaging service, not the message". You cannot refute my arguments, you and yours simply claim "it's a lie", "it's BS!", "it's a troll". The fact of the matter is: a license without an interest attached is revocable b

Your initial argument, as I imagine you ment to communicate (a single negation, rather than the double negation you proffered) hits a snag: I am a licensed attorney. "You ain't no lawyer, buddy" Your double negatives speak the truth: I am a licensed attorney. "you're a clueless halfwit" I'm

Real name pls, if want to be taken somewhat serious? Thank you. So where my logic cannot be attacked, my person may be instead? Do you think me a fool, simply because you do not know what you do not know (the law), yet think you do (an attribute of many programmers: know one field, know them al

Waiting quietly for two months for Eben Moglen's preliminary write-up (which I was to be sent to "correct") got me no-where. Every seems to have concluded that the issue is settled since there was no more public discussion. All the "other side" said was "nuh-uh" and "you're not a lawyer" (fals

Why is no one discussing this anymore. It's like you just accepted the "NU UH U WRONG" proclamation from programmers. Are you idiots aware that programmers DO NOT KNOW THE LAW simply by virtue of being "smarts"? Are you idiots aware that I am a lawyer, I have studied the law, and I do know

Re: Yes: The linux devs can rescind their license grant. GPLv2 is a bare license and is revocable by the grantor.

(2) ... (I am not going to go over the legal mistakes you've made, because of (1))... I have not made legal mistakes, pompous programmer asshole*. A gratuitous license, absent an attached interest, is revocable at will. This goes for GPLv2 as used by linux, just as it goes for the BSD license

2 months and no response from Eben Moglen - Yes you can rescind your grant.

It has been 2 months. Eben Moglen has published no research. Because there is nothing more to say: The GPLv2, as used by linux, is a bare license. It can be rescinded at the will of the grantor. The regime that the FSF used, vis-a-vis the GPLv2, is essential: copyright transfers to a central

Debian is not ruled by the men who actually write the software, but instead women. Just like in all the anglo-american conquered world. We, the men who actually do work, are treated as the same worker-slaves everywhere. Opensource was a refuge from the worthless cunts (who ban us from having
