But when Ricard does what he does and calls the BSDs supports propreitry software he is acting like one. But He cannot do any thing now. he is just a Shigandi ( just concentrate on the function of the term and not the insult commonly propogated by the use of the term ). People who play the real politics are behind him. please read through http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=120016963318475&w=2 He is even attacking Apache/GNU/Linux these days. And the truth is people like this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eben_Moglen are the real ones behind the politics. But it is very difficult to understand when you are only in the FSF Pond :-( So I stop here. cheers --Siju _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
