Google Eliminates Gizmo5 Client For Linux
cuttheredwire writes "Evidence on the Gizmo5 forum (login required) confirms that since Google's takeover of Gizmo5, only the Windows, Mac, and iPhone clients are available for download from the official Web page. The Linux download link no longer works. This is a potential problem for happy Linux users with paid-up credit in their Gizmo5 accounts if they need to reinstall the software. A back-door download is still available, although it is speculated on the forums that it will go away soon. Does this mean that (as with other Google projects such as Google Talk) Linux will be the poor relation for Google Voice also?"
Ah, another good old Stallmanite with his 'Everything must be FREE! Well except what you choose to name your independantly developed operating system just because its taken us over twenty years to completley fail to do the same so can we hitch our wagon onto yours?' attitude.
Keep up the really worthwhile fight that isn't a complete waste of time and energy to wank off over the naming of something somebody said he was giving away to anyone who wanted to use it until he made dozens of arbitary 'guidelines' like some fascist thinking he can rename someones derivative work or do anything other than what is stipulated in the license and the law.
