Hi all,
This time I'm not writing to the list because I have a trouble, or
because I've some questions that need to be answered. This time, I do
write simply because I want to THANK all people that makes possible a
system like Gentoo GNU/Linux, that brings their effort and free time to
make us equally (in rights).
There have past time since I defend GPL and CC licences. Why can I have
access to a book that costs 80 dollars and someone that hasn't got that
money can't have access to it? I think that knowledge is something that
everybody should have free access to. Is a good (and a right) that
should be expanded, and nothing best than this kind of licenses. This is
good for everybody.
Time agreed with us (with those that defended free knowledge).
Privative software is not safer because of hidden source code [it has
been tested experimentally xD]. It has been possible to develop apps
like Samba or Wine, without knowing any Windows source code, only
testing and "hearing", this is a point for free minds.
So I want to thank all the people that takes a minute helping others
with their knowledge, doesn't matter how much it is. I want to thank all
developers that takes care of their packages, and making them as good as
we have installed right now (excellent quality). And I'd like to thank
master Robbins his idea of a particular system like Gentoo.
I'd like to say something that is like a "feeling", I don't know if
you'll agree with me. This happens me with Gentoo and LFS (Linux from
scratch). Why Gentoo and not Debian or other distro? Because for me is
like going to a restaurant, and they serve wine on your table, opening
it in front of you. Is a matter of education. I prefer my system to
download source code, apply patches (with diretives that I can control,
and no one more), and make for me the app. For me a binary packages
system is like if in the restaurant they open the wine bottle in the
kitchen, instead of in front of you.
Thank you all guys,
Rafael Fernández López.
