    Wow, Apache should put a line in their license to disallow you from using it.

    I do programming as a profession

    Oooh. Am I supposed to bow to your mightiness? Frankly, you've already swept me off my feet.

    By telling me to "fix it myself" he was basically telling everyone to ignore the fact that Apache is ignoring already existing fixes and needlessly reinvent the wheel themselves.

    No, actually, he was basically telling you to fix it yourself, no need to read into it. If you're such a programming professional, it should be trivial to fix. Apache isn't someone you pay for something to work. It, like all other OSS projects, only get better when people get off their butt and fix problems. However, I'd rather have it stay broken and get fixed by someone decent than for it to grudgingly get fixed by as it's obvious you are a leech on open source's inner thigh.

    Well its sunday after all. Dont you thinks its even more gnarley that the ninth Linux kernel pre-release (-pre9) made the frontpage, its not even dot release! :) I thinks its good that important open-source software get their spot in the sun, becouse many of us do not follow all projects closely and its nice to have interesting discussions about the software and the project.
