Actually, I used to be a big proponent of the GPL. The recent
rantings by RMS on the differences between free & open source
software. The remarks about how pure the GPL is and how _not_ the
other open source licenses. I just see him as a distraction to
the cause of the community. His _religion_ is pure and we all
know it. But his rants are as intolerant as the biggest bigot
anywhere.
As I have said on this list and was on the site until just a few
days ago (due to upcoming remodeling). I expect to make a living
from open source software. I believe that there is room for alot
of people in this business called 'supporting FreePM'. We can
_both_ provide a service to the medical community AND make a
living without robbing anyone. That is why the ", Inc." now
appears in the signature below. I hope many of you join us. The
last thing I want to for someone (especially me) to have to spend
time arguing with a religious fanatic (or his attorney) about a
license issue. He has lost his grip on the child he gave birth
to. Partly his own doing. He needs to move on, but we all know
that won't happen.
There; that is my <RANT> about RMS <RANTING> :-)
Have a great day and thanks for asking,
