    And why the fuck should anyone give a shit about some ideological wackjob about software licenses?

    * The hundreds of thousands of Java developers out there
    * The thousands of companies running their businesses on Java or developing with Java
    * Sun
    * Richard Stallman

    One of those four's opinion is irrelevant, guess which one...

    I'm still trying to figure out why anyone cares anyway. He is a living, breathing troll. He exists solely to confuse anarchist politics with computer science. Most of us just care that something works, not what ideology is behind it.
