That's an undeniable fact, not an opinion. I'm glad you still have your rights and freedoms. I hope you realize that throughout history, a small few have stood up for the rights of others. (When you make the analogy to free speech, that's particularly obvious, I think.) I'm glad to stand up for your software freedom with regard to copyleft, even though we disagree. But, I hope you won't keep fighting against our work standing up for everyone's rights. > Gandhi never fought. He won by minding his own business, If you believe that Gandhi simply "minded his own business", I suspect you haven't studied his life story very much. But, the entire analogy is out of proportion anyway, as Gandhi was seeking freedom for oppressed people. I don't think proprietary software is "oppression". It's morally wrong, IMO, but true oppression is another level of problem entirely. -- -- bkuhn _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
