"You got hammered by some other people for a while, then FD said in #60 "You said if you redistribute it, you have to release the source code." but I don't know where he got that from."
Yep, once again, I gave him more credit than he deserved. I have a bad habit of assuming that he understands things.
The problem is that on FR we tend to assume we're talking to intelligent, rational people. I mean, it's not like we're on DU, right?
Maybe that's it. I think I've discovered GE's origin.
People have called GE a Microsoft employee, but I've always disagreed. Microsoft might do some nasty things, but they never go for stupid. Remember the idiotic Ken Brown attack on Linux? Microsoft distanced themselves really fast on that one, and they've been staying far away from SCO. No, Microsoft is too smart a company to want to have GE as a cheerleader or FUD spewer.
However, having GE as a long-time FReeper does bring great discredit upon Free Republic. He gives perfect ammunition for the DUmmies to say "Look how stupid FReepers are!" He must be a DU plant.
