Linux Wireless Driver Violates BSD License?
bsdphx writes "After years of encouragement from the OpenBSD community for others to use Reyk Floeter's free Atheros wireless driver, it seems that the Linux world is finally listening. Unfortunately, they seem to think that they can strip the BSD license right out of it."
No orthography among ACs, eh?
I think that they are more upset with the attitude more than anything.
You're upset at the behavior of an individual on a public mailing list?
How on earth do you cope with the wider internet? (and manage to post on slashdot for god's sake).
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.
What exactly is this article about?
You've visited the site, contributed to the discussion, presumably loaded the ads on the page, had your visit logged by Google... so what the fcuk do you care? Mind your own business web boy! (and please come again).
No it isn't. You can reply to your own posts all you like. Where do people get this weird notion that it's bad form?
I agree with you, nothing wrong with that.
Stan: They Killed BSD !!
Kyle: You Bastards !!
Linux users think Abraham was ordered to sacrifice Linus as a burnt offering, GNU users think Abraham was ordered to sacrifice Stallman as a burnt offering. Linux users believe in the holy trinity of GNU/Linux/NvidiaBlobs, BSD users believe in the one and only UNIX. Linux users are fine with Tux toys and stickers, BSD users believe in no graven images. Linux users are subdivided into those that argue about interpretations of freedom and whether the establishment is corrupt, BSD users are subdivided according to which BSD is the true descendant of UNIX(pbuh).

Stop being obtuse.
His analogy means that greed is like the flame in a hot forge and that Linux developers are like an anvil, well worn, but with plenty of use still left in them. The idea is that every time the flame of greed is stoked, the forge becomes hotter, causing the air of superiority to expand, which helps nobody. Of course, it all comes crashing down onto the helmet of irresponsibility, which becomes tighter and tighter on the head of progress, eventually causing a massive headache, such that no amount of source code Advil is enough to stop the pain.
Really, it couldn't be more clear.
If moderation could change anything, it would be illegal.
That's what they say.
