They are interested in our free copies of Linux, which is a complete operating system, not a simple core, and one they get completely free, for their own infinite use.

This has been explained to you enough times before. Anyone in the world can use and build a Linux system. The Chinese put out Red Flag, which is based on freely available RH Enterprise source packages and Asianux.

Torvalds did a complete 180 in less than a week on whether he will use Stallman's new license, if you call that standing up to Stallman no wonder you let him walk all over you too. Sorry to be so harsh but you are so weak in your defenses of these people I have no time to sugar coat it for you. Either you allow these leftists to continue to dominate open source, or you move to products that don't use their license. So far you seem totally content with Stallman/GPL exactly as is, so you should expect some harsh criticism.

I just explained this to you a few weeks ago. Stallman's following is small (the FSF), the FSF is NOT the same thing as the OSS community as a whole--but a small section of it, the GPL v.3 is highly political, and Torvalds rejected the then-current draft handed to him.

Your "180 degree turn" wasn't a turn at all. Linus simply said he wouldn't rule out the new license--assuming major revisions were done.

Finally, what's with your obsession with China and Communism?

"Finally, what's with your obsession with China and Communism?"

Good luck getting an answer. He's only interested in flinging accusations at others, even if he has to lie about what they are actually saying, as I've proven numerous times on this and other threads. I've asked him to point to specific posts to prove his accusations toward me, but he ignores me, because he knows he can't back up his totally baseless, intentionally dishonest lies.

Getting him to defend his own illogical and ignorant points of view is impossible; he'll obfuscate and toss red herrings until the cows come home, because that's all he can do.

He wants to accuse everyone else, but heaven forbid if he should be accountable for any of his own points of view. He even denies his own words if you push him far enough, choosing to call you a liar instead of owning up to what he himself has said. He's the textbook definition of an angry liberal - his debate style is "listen to me and shut he hell up, and don't dare question anything I say".

He's a pathological liar and is worthy of nothing more than belittling, insults and his own personal kryptonite - the truth.

From now on, I'm telling it like it is. He's a hateful, repugnant human being and deserves to have his own verbal defecations repeatedly thrown up in his face. I don't care how much he wrings his hands and sobs about namecalling, trying to get us all to feel sorry for him while he continues to spew his lies and dishonesty. If he can't take it, he can leave.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, he's a real poopy head.

He can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

what's with your obsession with China and Communism?

Ah, the truth finally comes out, you see no problem with Communist China or giving them advanced technology free of charge. Well since you've been hiding from reality, living your own life free of concern, oblivious to the dangers of the real world, I'll tell. It's a brutal, totalitarian government run by one party, the communist party, that kills babies before they are born just because they are female, that tortures and kills people simply for practicing their religions, such as Christianity, jails those that attempt free speech, takes property away from farmers and forces them to work like slaves, denies everyone the right to vote, and offers no chance at reform. That's what's wrong, among other things, since you've obviously lived such a sheltered life you have no idea about the ways of the world. Will this stop you from asking foolish naive questions, or continuing to support free technology transfers to these barbarians, or other barbarians across the globe? I highly doubt it. Because you obviously believe there is no danger in transfering technology to them, completely for free, that they should be given the same rights we have, to do with whatever they chose, no matter how evil it may be, and you could care less as long as you get some free stuff too.
