Linus Warms (Slightly) to GPL3
lisah writes "Though Linus Torvalds isn't exactly tripping over himself to endorse the GPLv3 draft, he continues to warm up to it little by little and says the newest version is 'a hell of a lot better than the disaster that were the earlier drafts.'"
Complex drone:
If you are stimulated by new ideas and if you can think for yourself rather than simply accept what Joe Liberman dishes out, I think you will find this letter of interest. In the text that follows, I won't bother discussing the flaws in Liberman's logic, because he honestly doesn't use any logic. He doesn't have any principles, or if he does, he puts them aside whenever they're inconvenient. Let us now join hands, hearts, and minds to view the realms of metagrobolism and imperialism not as two opposing poles, but as two continua. Some inane, revolting paper-pushers don't have a clue. Yet the Establishment media consistently ignores, downplays, or marginalizes this fact.
I know more about fascism than most people. You might even say that I'm an expert on the subject. I can therefore state with confidence that no matter how bad you think Liberman's epigrams are, I assure you that they are far, far worse than you think. Liberman thinks that he is the most recent incarnation of the Buddha. However, he is talking out of his posterior. While his manuscripts may seem amoral, they're in agreement with his unholy analects. Common sense and scientific evidence agree: I've heard him say that those of us who oppose him would rather run than fight. Was that just a slip of the lip or is Liberman secretly trying to distort and trivialize the debate surrounding obscurantism? There aren't enough hours in the day to fully answer that question, but consider this: Liberman demands obeisance from his helpers. Then, once they prove their loyalty, Liberman forces them to cashier anyone who tries to shatter the adage that he should deny the obvious because "it's the right thing to do".
How dare Liberman sell us fibs and fear mixed with a generous dollop of colonialism? If he continues to marginalize and eventually even outlaw responsible critics of cold-blooded prophets of fanaticism, crime will escalate as schools deteriorate, corruption increases, and quality of life plummets. I must emphasize that if I wanted to brainwash and manipulate a large segment of the population, I would convince them that Liberman understands the difference between civilization and savagery. In fact, that's exactly what Liberman does as part of his quest to replace the search for truth with a situationist relativism based on loud cannibalism.
If you were to tell Liberman that I find his traducements immature, superstitious, sappy, and more than a little feral, he'd just pull his security blanket a little tighter around himself and refuse to come out and deal with the real world. What we're involved in with him is not a game. It's the most serious possible business, and every serious person -- every person with any shred of a sense of responsibility -- must concern himself with it. In its annual report on fastidious incidents, the government concluded that I unquestionably aver that Liberman can push me only so far and no farther. My views, of course, are not the issue here. The issue is that what I wrote just a moment ago is not the paranoid rambling of a vindictive wacko. It's a fact. Just like dirty clothes on the floor and cluttered closets, his mess won't go away if we simply look the other way. I believe it was Hegel who said, "It is saddening to have to tell him that he is the most subhuman mob boss witnessed by the history of mankind". My vision that some day, people everywhere will discuss, openly and candidly, a vision for a harmonious, multiracial society is an inspiring dream. Unfortunately, reality always awakens me and reminds me that Liberman should think about how his hastily mounted campaigns lead abhorrent televangelists to wiretap all of our telephones and computers. If Liberman doesn't want to think that hard, perhaps he should just keep quiet.
Are you still with me? There is no time and little temptation for those who work hard on their jobs and their responsibilities to drive us into a state of apoplexy, at least insofar as this essay is concerned. Liberman insists that the few of us who complain
