BINGO! We have a winner! This thread should probably die. I just got done
hashing out a long thread on the python lists about the evil's and
hypocricy of the FSF socialsts saying their license is free. Which is a
total load or SH*T. It's about as free as china.

Indeed! Amen! I second this!

Actually they couldnt do that in their world. The GPL puts programmers out
of a job. You cant make any money on GPL software. Hence the ammount of
linux companies going T*TS up. You simply cannot sustain a viable income
from giving away your R&D code. But that is exactly what stallman and the
FSF want. To destroy IP, and kill the software industry. And looking at
the ammoung of linux companies who have failed, the rest are not far
behind. It clearly shows what the GPL is designed to do.

Linus hasnt written probably 10% of the Linux OS. Ill bet 90% of it work
of others. So Linus hasnt dont a whole heck of a lot for anyone either.

Thats one of the main points of the GPL. Destroy IP, and ownership. Among
other things.

Sure yet again this is not freedom. "Play by our rules or go reinvent the
wheel and play in another sandbox." There is no freedom in the GPL. GET
OVER IT.

What makes me laugh is guido and the rest of whatever committee there is
for Python trying to negotiate to get the Python license GPL compatible.
WHO THE HE** CARES IF IT IS GPL COMPATIBLE! I could care less about
bending to the will of some socialist nut case group like the FSF. People
act like it's a big friggin deal to be "GPL compatible". I hope it never
happens with Python. I would tell RMS and the rest of the FSF crowd to get
bent. We dont care about being inline with you're stupid corrupt agenda.
