Red Hat will give eCos Copyrights to the FSF!

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the very-cool-gesture dept.

An anonymous reader notes "Businesswire reports in this article that RedHat will assign its copyrights for the eCos embedded OS to the FSF. This is great news, considering that they have stopped developing it in 2002. Hopefully this will mean new life for the project."

    I blame the liberal media for this issue.

    Of course, having a business that relies on open source giving a commercial product to the FSF isn't terribly surprising...

    Here we have an example of the rarest of birds, an informed and insightful post... on slashdot.

    Check my posting history. I don't always get it right, but I always attempt to present an informed and useful opinion.

    What?

    Don't tell me you expected fair moderation here on Slashdot?

    You complain because you think there's still hope. But AKAImBatman, the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you've already been judged as a troll. And the sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a troll is supposed to function. Without mercy. Without compassion. Without remorse. All trolling depends on it.

    Now go out there and troll the hell out of Slashdot!

      No, but I'm well aware of what I can do about it. Moderators only have 5 points and can moderate a post only once. Reposting stuff at +2 that was at 0 and +1 respectively, gives the rouge mods a hard target to hit. Even worse, it draws attention to their poor moderation, so meta-mods who view in context will (hopefully) slam these guys.

      Now go out there and troll the hell out of Slashdot!

      Not on my watch. By God, I'll have an intelligent conversation if it kills me.

      There's plenty of smart stuff at 0 and even at -1.

      You'd be surprised.

      Why are you buying into the Slashdot groupthink fallacy: if it's moderated up, it's good. I have always read Slashdot at -1 and enjoyed it tremendously.

      I read at 0. -1 has all the troll bullsh*t that's not very pleasent to read.
