No one asks for a free ride. A free road is good enough. If RMS used other people's free roads (gnu is not the first free thing. the first free thing is what he got at AI labs at TAX Payer money. I read his interview where he said that the hackers would break into professor's offices. Perhaps we do the same to him and break into his FSF office and leave a "friend" note we came to get the docs he has not released.) which has proper signs, proper references, and he could ask profs proper questions, and get straight answers, he must do the same in return. The concise answer: We want a free road but not a free puzzle. Perhaps, next time when he is sick he take his DNA code and parse it using bison. Now, dont run away from this argument and bring each and every of the boys from his mailing list to tackle this question. He is a manager and he can put the volunteers to the task of documenting, illuminating and revealing the operation of his softwares and its evolution. He owes it to others [just like he got for free , I bet ya he could never afford any of his machines on his own money at that time when they were so rare so it must be public money. Even a company like IBM gets public funding. Its all issue of ethics, not of free software. Its issue of two way road. Or else our society would die. People all away in Africa are beginning to agitate from the theft of their resources and evolutionary time by europeans led by jews and so you gotta give them back by fully disclosing technologies. I know you can bribe say a big player like india. We dont want anti-semitism to spread and want the same ethical requirements for everyone.] to describe the algorithms used, references, or else, describe them if he dont want to give references. He need to give priorty to the past undocumented tools. Automatically, more volunteers will come. Right now, the mistrust of Richard Stall man and FSF is growing everywhere. Strength of my arguments stand on their validity. I repeat, no one wants a free ride. We want a free road that you seemed to offer. But we dont want a free puzzle. Or else, ask him to decode his own DNA alone in reasonable time. Its nothing but a code. > You know, nowdadys many 'people' are used to get everything on a platter > any mental incovieniences are circumvented as much as possible, so is > any try for independent thinking about anything strongly dissuaded. > > The last 25 years, since click-tah-icon-software emerged > "the dumbing down of programming" [1] has been on a rampage. > > [1]http://www.salon.com/21st/feature/1998/05/cov_12feature.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
