Would you like to kick me in the nuts, while saying things like this? The effect would feel little different. Such exceptions hurt professional software developers that want to make a living developing free and open source software -- like me. I think they hurt the entire free and open source software movements, actually. > It would be a shame to have to fork openocd. Yes. It would be a shame to see it forked over this, when clear technical solutions have been offered that comply with the GPL and provide exactly the same functionality. I am not ashamed, other than by the willingness of members in this community to attempt to retroactively revise a _legal_document_ that was accepted by contributors like myself.
