"No you didn't, you've been trying to claim they're not distributing it,..."

Oh, this is rich. Where did I say that exactly again (and don't just say Section 3...copy and paste it)? Why don't you argue with what I said, rather than dreaming up straw men out of thin air? You're weak, and it's getting more obvious by the second.

"...repeatedly putting up this FAQ link saying they can keep it private if they want to."

That's because they CAN, jackass! Do some reading!

" I gave you a link to the actual GPL license that shows they do have to give the source code away when they distribute it..."

Yup. I never argued any different. But they're under no obligation to release the OS if they don't want to. Your original statement (which I copied and pasted here earlier) was that they have to give a copy to anyone who requests it, which is untrue. And now, when you get caught, you try to lie again about what you said, and worse, about what I said. You're nothing but a liar through and through, but we knew that already.

"including listing the section number for you but you didn't even recognize it as the actual license. "

Repetition of a lie not only doesn't make it the truth, it is also a sure sign that you have nothing of substance to say. Keep it up. We're all laughing at you.

" But who cares, you seem comfortable saying, "why not let them have it" is as pitiful as it gets."

First, poor sentence structure. Second, you talk out both sides of your mouth, saying that Linux is "commie crapware", and basically bashing it as worthless, confusing, and impossible to use, then ranting frantically about giving it to the Chinese. Seems to me that if it is as bad as you think, you'd not care who had it. Your protests about it suggest the opposite. Thanks for proving my point, although I suspect the only point you're aware of is the one in the middle of your head.

So, Buzzy, can you explain why it's bad to use Linux because people give it to the Chinese, but it's OK to use Microsoft, because it's sold to the Chinese (and that company invests money and resources there, selling out American jobs)?

P.S. You use Linux everytime you post on FreeRepublic. If you really believe as you do, then why don't you leave?

How about your first post in the discussion, numskull.

But this company is releasing it, you freaking idiot, so the FAQ link you keep posting in your defense doesn't even apply.

Because there's a huge difference in selling something to someone verses giving it to them for free, especially if they take that free software and use it on all their government computers and resell it to other governments we don't want to have it. Apparently not a big enough difference for you to understand though.
