Asshole author who does not know the abc of what he is trying to pontificate about. The gplv3 prevents a distributor from preventing users excersing the rights guranteed under gplv2. It does not prevent the service provider from preventing use of his services if the user changes the default blob. where is the question of violating others copyrights. The gplv3 also explicitly prevents using of patents against any recipient of gplv3 code. If the crooks who use GNU feel otherwise they are welcome to spend a zillion in rolling their own stuff and see if their business survives.
You are just telling people that it's only our way. Take it or leave it. :-(
I am not. I am saying they dont have an alternative except taking unacceptable risks. Yet they think that curbing other peoples freedom is fine.
And if someone does not agree to GPLv3 becomes crook!.
If u dont agree with v3 roll your own and release under v2. However if i write something under v3 everone HAS to accept cause i own the copyrights.
Thank you very much for all the freedom and software freedom propagated by FSF!
Your args are naive or devious. Software freedom to subjugate sombody else's software, hardware and device usage freedom is not freedom - it's overlordship to those who control those rights and serfdom to those who dont. AND u have an option to execute such a scheme - roll your own. Just dont use the works of people who put out these enabling and empowering tools to disable and disenfranchise others.
And btw forbes is yet another M$ schill. Similiar articles published in the past few yrs - including complete support for SCO (the author was dan lyons afair) - would fill a couple of pages.
Why the moment someone talks against FSF they become MS agents? :-)
Read carefully the abv and google (baystar, deutsch capital, dan lyons). U will find precisely such articles devoid of logic but full of insinuations. I NEVER make a comment unless i verify. U will also find court depostions by Baystar employees.
Seems to me Vista is in line for another quarter delay.
Who care? If it's release tomorrow or after 10 Years!
U find such articles evertytime M$ has to announce a delay. But yes who cares.
I would suggest that we start respecting other peoples view, opinions and FREEDOM!
The link was not a view. It was a personal attack on RMS. Not one sentence had any logic.
And the reason for replying was not merely the language of the article, but the twisting of facts to denigrate V3, which too i have stated in my reply.
