Well, since my email address was left in Terry's response, I think I owe
the list at least an explanation of my position..... My position was
simple confusion, based on many postings to the list, reading the
current docs, etc. I fully understand how the GPL works, I do software
development on a daily basis using GPL software, tools, OSes, etc, and
agree with Terry in what he's said. My confusion was purely logical -
the Howtos are GPL'd so I didn't understand why Terry would have
problems with someone wanting to help out. All I did was ask a question,
maybe too short and it could possibly be confrontational, but that's why
the emoticon was added to the end - hopefully to show that it wasn't
flamebait!
I am interested in updating the AX.25 Howto. I can do parts of it, but
not all - there's just a wide variety of tools that can be used, and I
don't know how Terry managed to cover it all in the first place. Terry
spoke volumes, not just about Linux-Hams, but for amateur radio as well
- all the reasons why I don't attend club meetings, RACES/ARES anymore.
It's the same story - show up to a few meetings, introduce yourself to
some people, and then pretty much be ignored for the rest. Happens a
lot! Don't know if it's my age, gender or hair color, it just happens.
Gone are the days of Elmering, etc.
I just wanted to make things straight and hopefully I have.
