  1. "Leading experts"? by Rogerborg · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    This is the guy who won't give a straight answer to explicit questions about the LGPL and Java linking?

    Hey, Eben, when's the last time you won a case? When's the last time you were even arguing before a judge or jury court?

    My medical studies make me an "leading expert" on the vulnerable areas of the human body. Funnily enough, that doesn't mean that any untrained street punk can't kick my ass.

    Frankly I'd give more credence to a practicing lawyer than a guy who got tenure by documenting other peoples' achievements.
