But, you see, I also chose Windows, just like you...
Maybe it was a mistake. But I'm not really sorry since only leftists were accidentally insulted.
Something pretty unrelated to Stallman, since he specifically refers to his commie clones as "GNU's NOT Unix". And you've never have explained why you can't just use Unix, instead of Stallman's commie clones. You tried by saying they weren't free, which of course was a lie.
But you still never told me how I'm supporting Stallman.
Name one benefit Stallman gets from me having Linux on my computer, especially after I got it for free and make no contributions back.
There's one for the hypocrisy list.
OSS companies can make money
OSS companies do hire developers
The LGPL is OK
Stallman does not call the shots in the OSS community
Solairs and OSX would not be what they are w/out OSS
Putting Software under the GPL does not give your code to FSF
The man is a FUD breaking machine today...
You haven't explained why we should.
If they're both free of charge, how does it hurt or help either Linux or Unix if I use their system, especially if I'm not the type who contributes anything back?
Your position is not clear.
How does a person downloading a Linux OS for free, and not contributing back to the community, support Stallman?
Likewise, how does downloading a Unix OS for free, and not contributing back to the community, support Unix?
Wont find too many freepers who will disagree with you on that, I think the guy is wacko
released under his license should be avoided if at all possible
Why? You yourself have provided evidence today that using the GPL in no way empowers stallman
but continue to push software under his license constantly.
Hey Bill gates himself has given millions upon millions to the leftist at the UN and you keep pushing software that is not only under a licnese he is responsalbe for but that gives him more money to give to the UN.
while I constantly condemn them.
Except in the case of Bill gates a rich leftist who you empower..
BS, even you have admitted (on rare ocassion) that Stallman is a radical leftist. Apparently that doesn't matter to you, using stuff licensed by radical leftists is just a part of your normal life. Actually, you go much further, and try to attack me for pointing it out to everyone, you want to keep it all on the hush hush.
"BS, even you have admitted (on rare ocassion) that Stallman is a radical leftist."
Believe me, sugar. That wasn't because of you.
You never answered my question.
Explain how downloading software free of charge and using it privately, as I do, supports the maker of the software or the license in any way.
LOL, you losers trying to compare the richest capitalist in the world, who regularly donates to the RNC, as an equal leftist to that Green Party whacko Richard Stallman who wants to tax us all for "free" software. Does Gates own website look anything like this?
http://www.stallman.org/archives/polnotes.html
George Sorros is also a pretty rich guy, are you trying to say only those on the right are wealthy? Who gives more money to the UN which is perhaps among the most anti-american organization in the world stallman or gates?
It makes you an obvious member of Stallman's "movement", not that you aren't already a full fledged card carrying memeber LOL. He uses dopes like you to build up his power, so that he boast his number of downloads to the people at the U.N. who created an entire new division to push his software on the rest of the world.
We've even seen you on here insisting that China and other potential US adversaries can't use Stallman's license to make competely free copies of software technology made here in the U.S., even incorrectly quoting his website when everyone knows that's exactly what Stallman wants.
You're just a mindless pawn of his, obviously, still here arguing on his behalf just like always.
Who knows, but we do know there are alternatives to both Gates and Stallman, being Sun Solaris and Apple OSX. You still haven't ever explained why you constantly push Stallman's crap on us when those two other alternatives exist.
Sun Solaris is free, and is even available in open source form if that's what you want. What's the matter, can't live your life without Stallman's license dominating your software? Why do you always defend a guy who you even admit is a whacko leftist?
An honest person would have said "Sorry, I was wrong." There's no "maybe," your statement was not only grossly factually incorrect, but used in a derogatory fashion.
And an honest and smart person would have looked it up first before writing it. The ONLY place info like that comes from is anti-OSS FUD, agenda-driven and no better than Stallman himself.
"He uses dopes like you to build up his power..."
haha! Hit a nerve, obviously. Not a part of any "movement" here, just wanna listen to music, surf the Net, and tinker a little bit. You're more obsessed with Stallman than I am.
"We've even seen you on here insisting that China and other potential US adversaries can't use Stallman's license to make competely free copies of software technology made here in the U.S., even incorrectly quoting his website when everyone knows that's exactly what Stallman wants."
Ok, sugarplum, where did I post this? Thread and post number?
Didn't have one? Didn't think so.
"He uses dopes like you to build up his power..."
Haha!
Just thanking you again for this chuckle.
"...his POWER!"...
hahahahahahahahaha!
...copyleftists!!!
