opponents, competition?  Lars, you just don't get it.

btw, my main beef with rms is that when the ath5k thing went down,
I asked rms in personal email to make a generic statement about
respecting copyrights.  not comdemn or choose sides, just say
something along the lines of despite differences in beliefs of
freedom, the most important thing for all of free software is
respect for copyright and chosen licensing.

and he thought that might be a good idea.  then he suddenly decided,
because OpenBSD was involved, that he would not make such a statement.
he went on to say that he could care less if OpenBSD developers
drop dead.

I was trying to get rms to be a hero, actually.  I thought building
flame war was bad for everyone.  but he refused, because he is
personally prejudice against OpenBSD.  plain and simple.


The problem is: He has his theory to reach a goal, and it's very hard to 
admit for him that an other more elegant theory works better for the 
same goal.


Worse, that he considered it proved for at least 3 items that gNewsense 
violates his own rules and that the whole discussion opened a few more 
morally very bad things (sources for emacs for windows on his servers 
which needs proprietary software).



don't know about you, but imo, any self proclaimed defender of freedom,
with such prejudice, is not at all a defender of freedom, but some
one abusing the idea freedom for personal gain.  one of the most vile
types of people, imo.


It's quite ugly: He makes a living by keeping nonsense alive.


Picturing him with flies around his head is funny however I believe it 
is smarter to keep pointing on the fact that his use and explanation of 
the word free doesn't comply with any dictionary on this planet.

are the pictures real??

If so, this guy is retarded. I was aware of the e-mail he sent to
misc, but this is too much!

He must really be mentally handicapped

enemy of your feedom??!?!

man, now I am furious. One thing is that a belching hippy gives a lame
talk in a language he doesn't know and arrives 15-20 minutes later
making 200 people WAIT because he was sleeping too much probably...
another thing is to do what he's doing in those pictures, _if_ they
are real

He must have indeed some other reason to wear such a banner.

What about: DON'T USE THE LINUX KERNEL, IT'S AN ENEMY OF YOUR FREEDOM?

He criticised in a very mild way Mr Torvalds during his talk, but he
didn't assert such a thing about linux.

Funny. Very funny. I start to understand a lot of things.

The schematics and source code even came with the Apple II and, IIRC,
the Apple II+.  It was a huge foldout in the book containing (IIRC) the
monitor code and the full 6502 instruction set.  You could mod the
hardware in anyway imaginable (at the time).  I tried out stepper
motors, data acquisition, custom ROMs, etc.  The software was the same,
I made primitive mods to many applications, but also even DOS and the
system itself.

That was one of the things I missed greatly during the proprietary phase
that some unixes and Apple later passed through.

While vastly more complex and useful than the Apple II+, OpenBSD brings
back the customization and usefulness of software (as do several other
systems).  However, as far as I can tell, it is rather far ahead in
cleanly understandable and well-done components that play well together.

This is putting words in both these individuals mouth.  You should not
do that.  You have no idea why either one of these chose to do what they
did.  You can only guess.

 
 2) Copyright statements (aka licenses) are just another tool.  Different

copyright != license

This has been explained on these lists many time before.  Theo has done
some pretty good writeups on this.

 
 3) There is one difference between the two in one aspect of how
 'freedom' is defined, especially in the context of software copyright
 statements.  They're not going to agree, they don't have to agree.
 Get over it.

The courts tend to use the dictionary definition of words that in
dispute.  It has been pointed out beyond any reasonable doubt that rms
uses the word freedom incorrectly.  Since he is fully aware of that I
can only deduce that he has some sort of agenda.

 
 4) Other than that difference, there is great overlap between the chosen
 copyright statements.  That appears to be the main idea behind Pau's

There is no such thing as copyright statements.  There are copyrights
that tell the world who the work belongs to and then there are licenses
that stipulate how one can use the copyrighted work.

The cultivator here was rms.  He lies and then contorts words to meet

and he got a little more than he bargained for.

Putting words in their mouth would be more like X says, Z  One

'what' they are both doing is encouraging creation of useful software,

For now, they don't have to agree.  Get over it.

They are different projects (sandboxes) with different rules in each,
one ISC one GPL.  So if you want to play in the sandbox, then those are
the rules you play by.

 4) Other than that difference, there is great overlap between the chosen

 There is no such thing as copyright statements...

The world's publishers and even the world's library catalogers seem by
some oversight not to have been informed of your new terms and concepts.
 For now, until your changes to law and language kick in, it will be
fine to continue using the established names for statements of
copyright.  If you need an authoritative source, then look it up in the
AACR2, among other places.

Regardless of what you call them, there is large functional overlap
between the ISC and the GPL.  MS License 6.0 in contrast would be at the
opposite end of the spectrum from either of them.

Richard was here (universitat autrnoma de Barcelona) last Monday

 http://www.uab.es/anycomputacio/

I went to his talk, just out of curiousity.

It was interesting. Not what he said, which was the old same story
(and he dared to do it in Spanish, which made everything worse -my
English is way mch better).

I say it was interesting because gnu/linux was the first thing I
discovered, when I left windows, some... 10? years ago (I was using
windows 3.11 last time I did) and I found incredible that you could
tell your computer to do something _you_ wanted.
I found everything amazing, and I became a fanboy of gnu/linux. Later
I saw The Light ;)
Well.. listening to Richard talking about the freedom of code etc, in
the way he did it: arriving 15 minutes later and making ~200 people
wait, burping and belching many times, because he had drunk two
teapots, and he also interrupted the talk asking aloud for a cloakroom
and explicitly asking a prof. to take him to it, not taking into
account that he had talked for more than two hours with long breaks
due to his insufficient expertise in Spanish etc etc... made me
thought of those years when I was a teenager.

Just my two cents :

I remember an interview with rms (about two years ago) where he 
critisised not only (open/net/free)bsd for shipping non-free software, 
but also ubuntu, redhat and others. The only really free distribution
from his point of view is GNU/HURD, but since it will be released 
shortly after Duke Nukem Forever, we'll have to stay non-free one or two 
more months ;)


So he declared others as non-free at least once... god knows why he 
didn't it do more often.


By the way, Puffy lost his clothes when he left the ship ;)

  I went to his talk, just out of curiousity.

  It was interesting. Not what he said, which was the old same story
  (and he dared to do it in Spanish, which made everything worse -my
  English is way mch better).

  I say it was interesting because gnu/linux was the first thing I
  discovered, when I left windows, some... 10? years ago (I was using
  windows 3.11 last time I did) and I found incredible that you could
  tell your computer to do something _you_ wanted.
  I found everything amazing, and I became a fanboy of gnu/linux. Later
  I saw The Light ;)
  Well.. listening to Richard talking about the freedom of code etc, in
  the way he did it: arriving 15 minutes later and making ~200 people
  wait, burping and belching many times, because he had drunk two
  teapots, and he also interrupted the talk asking aloud for a cloakroom
  and explicitly asking a prof. to take him to it, not taking into
  account that he had talked for more than two hours with long breaks
  due to his insufficient expertise in Spanish etc etc... made me
  thought of those years when I was a teenager.

  Hope you guys enjoy.

And that I have! I've already downloaded it and listened to it several
times. Excellent song!

Btw, already that thread was burned into my memory (I was recovering
from back surgery when it took place), but now, with this song, the
thread and the broader issues covered are archived in a different way
for all to remember it by. Good job on the subject selection!

I can't wait for my 4.3 CDs to arrive!
