RMS on SCO, Distributions, DRM
Letter writes "Open for Business has an interview with GNU founder and free software zealot Richard M. Stallman (RMS) discussing the SCO situation, the single RMS-approved free Linux distribution and DRM in the Linux kernel. RMS also describes non-free software as a 'predatory social system that keeps people in a state of domination and division.'"
gathers Gay Programmers from all over America and abroad for one common goal - writing Gay software.
Are you GAY ?
Are you a PROGRAMMER ?
Are you a GAY PROGRAMMER ?
If you answered "Yes" to any of the above questions, then GGPL (GAY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE) might be exactly what you've been looking for!
Use GGPL (GAY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE) today, and enjoy all the benefits of this queer license.
GGPL (GAY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE) is the fastest-growing GAY PROGRAMMER license with THOUSANDS of users all over United States of America. You, too, can be a part of GGPL if you write Gay software today!
Why not? It's quick and easy - only 3 simple steps!
First, you have to write Gay software, such as this Gay Software and license it under the GGPL.
Second, you need to succeed in gathering a few "Gay Users" on slashdot.org, a popular "news for trolls" website
Third, you need to contact Richard Stallman, creator of the GGPL, and ask him to sacrifice a straight person for you in the name of All Fags.
If you have mod points and would like to support GGPL, please moderate this post up.

And now, the GGPL.
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a Gay regime (such as blue plastic dicks, or a frozen potato reference) placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Gay General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under Vatican law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "a fag". Activities other than copying, distribution, modification, or cock sucking are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. (Serve the gay community.) 1. A fag may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it (up the ass), in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice, Gay pornographic image, and disclaimer of warranty or straightness; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. A fag may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. You may also offer AIDS ribbons and rainbow tattoos, as well. A fag must also embed a gay demeanor in his software. The mention of the following items MUST BE INCLUDED in each piece of GGPL software. A blue, plastic cock. An AIDS ribbon. A frozen piece of shit. A cock ring (with or without razor blades.) KY Jelly. Anal warts/tearings. Billy Mays. Distribution of GGPL software without the inclusion of these gay items is strictly against the code of Gay Software Programmers, and a fag lawsuit will ensue. Please make note of this and include one, if not all, of the Official Gay Items in your software. The GGPL rest
Seriously. LinEx? WTF is that? Default page is in Spanish.
Shut up, RMS. Go back to emacs.
i know this is slashdot and all, but come on, this guy is just an idealistic hippy. Most of the time, when people write software, just like anything else, they do it because someone will pay them. A good deal of the people on the free software bandwagon are just stupid h4x0rz that want to download photoshop for free and don't think they should have to pay for it! Software is a product, just like anything else. When you buy a car, they don't include blueprints for free . . why include source code??
All hail the fat bearded one
All hail the fat bearded one
That is all.
That should be GNU/SCO
I could care less, but not without a lobotomy
You mean Slashdot is a news site? You got me.
Roses are red, Violets are blue
Lunix sucks, and so do you.
Survival not of the best but survival of the one who holds the source. This way Microsoft has successfully bullied hardware manufactures into submition. When the alternative is a hostile Microsoft manufacturers just bow down. That is the doing and competitive advantage of closed source ware. MS wanted to dominate business word processing so they just made it imposible for other office suites to compete, plain and simple, they did this because of closed source. If you have an innovation interface that MS really wants to encorporate in their portfolio you are first given a chance to build up demand then you will be cloned and dollars to dognuts your file format will be read by the MS clone but the proprietary MS competing format will be so tricked out that you have not got a prayer. That is the reality of what has been alowed to happen with closed source. It has become like giving someone a perpetual exclusive on all digital communication. You can bet MS lobby dollars will only go to keep the status quo Pax Microsoftis going, through bought out congressmen like Sen Fritz. So keep your Mirmidon thoughts about software needing to be closed source to make money. Just bow to Redmond and be a good bread and circuses ignorant software consumer.
OH THE SHAME I fell off the wagon and use sigs again!
If you're the only person seeing walls, is that why people call you crazy?
"Sufferin' succotash."
Hell, I'm far from an free software zealot, but I still think your point is just silly and missleading.
If you're the only person seeing walls, is that why people call you crazy?
Perhaps when you've made as big a contribution to the world as Stallman, and you've got something as interesting to say as he has, global media will be seeking your views out too.
Until then, you'll always have Slashdot...
I read through the GCC project for information on compatibility with the Watcom compiler. GCC has been adding alot of cruft and cludging its optimization for a long time. This latest release is quite slow, imho. Anyways, to remind people, the Watcom compiler is freely availble (Sybase Open Watcom Public License version 1.0) at many places. Try it out. I discovered GCC is stopping support for the M68K architecture. What is up with that? M68K is a verry popular architecture that is still used in embedded-Linux solutions. What will they discontinue next, Alpha and Sun Sparc architecture?
One last question to anyone who might be able to answer, anyone tried the Watcom compiler with M68K? I don't have the documentation for Watcom in front of me and would like to answer a friend of mine's question on whether Watcom can cross-compile for M68K. Thanks.
Hey, the villans and heroes are determined by the folks who wrote history. Look at Moses and his exploits. You've got a murderer and Egyptian collaborator who leads a people on a journey that ends in genocide on a mass scale. His troops rolled over Caanan, slaughtering everything that moved. Yet he is all sorts of "Holy".

Now everything beyond those 3 principles is application. The statistical method of solving thermo problems is application. The differentail equations are application. The tables and units are application.
Whatever else you are eluding to is either jargon, beyond the scope of the layman (like me), or bullshit.
