PHP Not Moving To The GPL
darthcamaro writes "In an article on InternetNews.com, PHP co-founder Andi Gutmans takes a small shot at RMS (and the FSF), labelling them as fanatics and as not being representative of PHP's user base. 'Most of PHP's user base are people that are using PHP to make a living and they wouldn't care less. "They are just happy that it's a PHP license and they can do whatever they want with it and can ship it with their commercial products," he said.' The comments were made in the context of the recent MySQL LGPL to GPL licesing problem which is what the article is really about. '"We definitely don't see eye to eye on the issue of licensing. He [Richard Stallman] doesn't like our licensing and we know that," Gutmans said. "We're aware of each other, but the PHP project has no intention of moving to some sort of GPL license."'"

Nonsense. Freedom is what RMS says it is. Anyone stating a dissenting opinion should be silenced in order to protect said freedom.
Hey! That's GNU/Freedom to you, sir!
Oh yea? Well I'll just go and make my own license. With strippers and blackjack. In fact, forget about the license and the blackjack.

Since when is news what is NOT happening?
Is it because he's a card carrying communist?
They go to work, do some coding, and go home to have sex.
Apparently I have been coding in the wrong language!
What's next, a story called, "FSF Not Moving to BSD License", or "Bush Not Voting For Kerry"?
Now with recursion at the front AND back of the acronym!
Tweet, tweet.
I really admire Bill Gates for having the guts to stand up to RMS like that.
Get a job where they don't pay you in fruit.
He's seen the problem, he's seen the solution, he tries to show people the two.
And he's so polite about it, I don't understand why people don't just do what he says! <sarcasm>
