Well hell, if we're going to degenerate to this level, I don't think you're
a cretin, I think you're a commie freeloader who thinks the world owes you a
living.
Let's at least get the name-calling right.
Homer: In case you missed it, that was sarcasam.
Marge: Well, DUH.
Sarcasm or not, I think you are far off the mark - but in any case,
I'm sure cretin was used as one description, as was incompetent. As
for commie freeloader - I don't think you could be much further from
the truth, but that's my opinion and you're welcome to yours. And I
don't believe I have at any point asked for anything other than to
not have my system remotely borked. I haven't demanded that people
keep providing updates to my AV sigs, or that they do anything for me
- other than not borking my system.
The ClamAV team released the project under an open licence which
allows anyone to use it in any way they wish. They then later take it
upon themselves to impose by force* a 'solution'. If they'd stopped
providing sig updates then I'd not be complaining, but that isn't
what they did.
I believe my comments neatly summed up the attitudes of a group of
people - my opinion.
* I know, they aregue that they did no such thing, and that they were
'invited' by the act of me running freshclam. That's the sort of
thing a criminal uses to justify their actions - you know, "yes I did
steal their telly, but they should have upgraded their locks like I
pretended I'd told them to and then I wouldn't have done it".
