Europe's Largest Linux Event Draws Nigh

Posted by michael on from the always-wanted-to-use-nigh-in-a-story-title dept.

steman writes "On the 10th of July 2003 LinuxTag begins, the largest Linux event in Europe. It will be held in Karlsruhe, Germany. Four days will be packed with up to 20,000 visitors, over 120 exhibitors (including more than 30 Free Software orientated projects such as FFII, BSD, KDE and Debian), coding marathon and many conferences (including specialist business and government conferences). Best of all, in the spirit of the Free Software Movement, it will be largely free (entrance, and many conferences are free)."

    Which is why they should be using BSD or Windows, not that Linux trash.

    This piece of shit makes $63k a year for POSTING STORIES ON SLASHDOT?? For those of you not "in the know," this involves loading the submission queue page, and clicking 2 hyperlinks. Most engineers and computer scientists don't make that much and if it wasn't for them, this loser wouldn't have a job to begin with.

    The sad thing is your right.

    GPL is definetly a restice license just like a EULA. But its restrictiveness is not the same.

    BSD is purly free. I chose freedom. Freedom = BSD or public domain.

    Since RMS claimed that kde should be begging for forgiveness, maybe they should of stuck with a BSD style license.

    At least it would give an argument to call linux "linux" and not gnulinux.

    Only a few tools are gnu but because so many OSS writers put a gpl license on their programs to be popular, it creates an illusion that Linux is just a kernel and that we run the GNU/OS.
