No, I'm saying that you should dream up new stuff on your own instead of complaining about the licenses of the software that other people dream up. If you want open source software, then *create* some. If all you are able to do is copy some existing software, you're profoundly limited in what you can accomplish and you are really big trouble if your copying cuts off the supply of things to copy. It's sort of like saying "Daddy is paying for college but when you get out of college you have to figure out how to make a living, you might want to start thinking about that". In fact, it's a lot like that. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
