i dont want to waste bandwidth first downloading and then asking.
I dont see why he cant clarify the position
he did, he said it'll be available soon on the website.. expecting
him to answer "where is the full source available now?" is being
unreasonable and doesn't require any further clarification..
your standards are obviously different from mine. But when a product
is pushed as GPL and Open Source and heavily recommended on this
list, blah blah - without putting up the source code even 2 years
after release, I tend to be highly suspicious about the freeness and
opensoureceness of the product. If you want to see what I consider a
genuine free and opensource distro look here:
http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng/index.html
note the elaborate pages regarding source, developers, how developers
should approach the source etc. Check this:
http://www.pardus.org.tr/eng/documents/developer/new_developer.html
ok - in hairsplitting legalistic terms I am being unreasonable, but
would warn any users that the lack of transparency here may lead to
problems tomorrow.
