Is being an "open-source" developer now a necessary condition for being a
"hacker" or "developer"?
You academics crack me up. You have it completely backwards. Most
open-source people dont know what they are talking about. This conversation
about intel is like a bunch of women discussing what its like to be hit in
the balls. its downright comical. They are in the business of making money.
If you think they dont know the exact impact of releasing the information
then you need to get out of your cubical a hell of a lot more.
For your info, Bub, what makes the BSD license attractive is its usability
by commercial vendors, so maybe you should go play in Linuxland because
you are the one in the wrong camp, not me. the ability to take code, fix it
and incorporate it into a product WITHOUT giving back source is the ENTIRE
CONCEPT of the BSD license.
And why does all of your email have that stupid attachment? Whats the
matter, cant figure out how to use an open-source mailer? :-)
