I've been quiet lately in these flame wars, because I couldn't have staid that polite to an arrogant asshole, but I won't stay quiet when Larry can now insult other developers and gets away with it. If someone is whining around here, then it's only Larry. A lot of people are contributing to the kernel, but he is the only one constantly whining around that he should be treated special and makes silly threats. Can we please get cause and effect right here? Of course Larry is completely free to choose whatever license he wants, but advertising a stupid license in a free software environment will of course cause disagreement and complaints. There is _nothing_ anyone but Larry can do anything about it, but amazingly enough Larry manages to take every single complaint as personal insult and makes all of the bk flame wars worse than they already are. Andreas sig is about as offensive as a "Don't drink and drive" spot. The bk license is problematic for a number of developers and it's very important that new developers are made aware of the problems and not just think it's cool to use bk because the mighty Linus is using it. bye, Roman - 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/
