(note to self, don't read RMS's diary again) Uhhuh, have you people lost your sense o humour? Did actually _anyone_ red the Texan history rms describes on his site? I personally find the history (where rms was denied to continue his lisp machine lectures given that absurd excuse he was commiting a nasal sex with dead plants) quite amusing... But here you go, just care to read it before commenting. Besides all i find rms diary rather interesting. > > Has anyone ever asked why it is okay for RMS to suggest it is okay to > invalidate another person/company license (BitKeeper is the example) yet I`m sure there is a link to a such his statement archived on the web. Google returns too much results to be useful, so i`d be rather delighted if you provide me with en exact link to this his statement. > become offended when their own license is to desired to be invalidated? > > Why is it that nothing but gpl can exist with gpl? > > Why is that a superior option to license under which follows the > original spirit of GPL but goes further to promote the ideas of open > source is frowned upon?
