It's also the first I've heard on GPL v.3
Methinks this is yet another attempt by RMS, FSF, and their buddies to perpetuate the age-old flame wars over GNU/Linux usage, etc. that has at times divided the OSS community...
Linus has never been an RMS lackey. RMS is an idealist, Linus is practical, and that makes them butt heads a lot.
Whoa--what happened to comments 6-12?
It is. RMS has made the GPLv3 very political from some of the things I'm reading about it.
The guy's just nuts. "His" OSS movement is really making ground and gaining alot in alot of areas, and he's letting it go to his head as if he had alot to do with it.
Linus isn't a pinko like RMS. It's diarrhea of the mouth when he speaks about how immoral proprietary software is. Linus isn't like that. He just wants to make good code and hopes that people will keep using it.
People don't care about if the code is open or not. People are all about productivity. That's it.
People are all about productivity. That's it.
That's exactly what got me started on Linux one year ago. I've very rarely had anything to grumble about--and even then, once I knew what I was doing, things weren't that hard to figure out.
I run my live cd on campus, and while I still can't get the OS to hook up to the campus network printers (tried using KDE's printer setup, LinNeigborhood, and looking through Samba), I actually prefer running Linux at school.
Ask n3wbie, I put up some undoctored pictures of Stallman and Torvalds but he still went screaming to his momma again. Some boys just never grow up.
You were referred to, but not pinged, in the previous post.
Your posts were deleted too. They should just delete all your worthless threads completely.
