Your buddy says 80 percent are GPL, you mean you're not going to question or insult him about it too? Why not? Because you're finally ready to admit 80 percent of all OSS is licensed by that "rabid anti-capitalist"? Might as well since you got blown out of the water trying to deny it.

Hey I never said it was not 75% I just asked for your source.

insult him about it too?

No inslut intended, you have in the past posted that Linux only had a 10% share, when pushed for a source it turned out to be closer to 20%

Because you're finally ready to admit 80 percent of all OSS

If you count every little never got off the ground alpha project on sourceforge, maybe. But if you count mainstream in use software like the contents of a RedHat CD its far south of 80%.

"rabid anti-capitalist"

I have written some code that is GPL, never once did I have to clear anything with that nutball RMS..

Because I only said that's the high number I've heard. I don't claim it's true, only that's what I've heard. I remember numbers quite a bit lower than your 70%+ too. Like it matters anyway.
