This is very similar to what Troll created with their QPL license. In fact, I think this is the best combination of all possible licenses. The customer gets the source code and rights to modify it, the author gets paid for the work he/she has done. Simple, just and promotes creativity.
"the good of the masses" oh.. usually you can hear this term right before some mass killing is about to start. Forget about it, there is no such a thing. The "good" is only created by indyviduals on their own behalf. This is exactly the reason why US is so sucesfull and USSR wasn't (where "good of the masses" was the goal.)
That was only an example. If blacks would behave decently I don't have any problem with them ( unfortunately, it is most often not the case and contrary to what you might thing it is not white people fault)
I wish it was that way. Right now if I have a restaurant and for some reason don't want, say, liberals there, I can;t legally forbid them from comming - if I do I will be sued right away by 200 different "human rights" groups.
I have a friend who lives in Sweden and is absolutely terrified by school system there... Basically, once kids enter the school they belong to the state and parents have no real influence on their education. If that is true then it does suck.
This is not a problem of having scripting language like VB. There are good scripting tools available for unix. The problem is that Linux is lacking in infrastructure like unified access to databases (ODBC) and things like that. These things make VB so easy to use...
No.. not really . here in my office there are 5 developers running linux and one free bsd. Of all linux people only one is running twm and the rest KDE. And I can assure you our office is most definately located in US ( Chicago).
Really, KDE has a chance to develop something truly usable and something that will last. They actually do care about the user which can hardly be said about most GPL software. Way to go , guys...
GUI? There are tons of people who are more knoledgeable about GUI than he is. Gnome is ugly and hardly functional as comapared to Windows or Mac stuff. There is nothing realy revolutionary about Gnome.
I actually think that lots of people would love to have native port of IE because they simply realize that IE is so much superior to Netscape stuff. One reason it is not being mentioned often is this/. typical "political correctness"
"It is absurd to say that GUI is better than command line at anything (which I don't think you are saying anyways). "
Yeah, right. Let's all ditch MS Office and move to text based Wordperfect from 10 years ago. Or better yet, why don't we go back to punched cards - I am sure there were many "true" geeks who argued for that when first terminals were entering the market.

" And, if you're using unix, ALL your applications are "command-line" applications. "
Ahh, amazing !!! I hate to break this to you, but you can start MS Office from command line too.
Oh come on. You are arguing against change. Don't you realize that this kind of argument won't take you anywhere ? And I am very interested in one thing >> how the fuck does having different opinion qualifies me as a troll. I simply don't "dig" text based tools, that's all and for me "mutt" is worthless tool. Is that trolling ??
Slashdot Mirror
In fact you are right, she is already GPLd ...
I do wish I could duplicate her somehow but, well,
I guess will have to do with original.
How about G400 ?? Isn't that supported by BeOS ??
GPL your wife.

By this logic Windows is another one since it allows you to play AOE ...

Faster then C++. Hmm .. bytecode is faster then true interpretation but can't even come close to compiled code. Look at Java ...
Perl is ugly and just like you said, is fine for creating some sort of script but betting large application on Perl is recipe for disaster.
To 4 people who will redistibute it to 4000 ??
.. thanks , but no thanks
hmm

How the heck KDE is going to affect load on X caused be other apps ??
Do you know what are you taking about ?
Really, KDE has a chance to develop something truly usable and something that will last. They actually do care about the user which can hardly be said about most GPL software. ...
Way to go , guys
Yep. Gnome is the future. All these 12 people who are using it can certainly confirm that.
GUI? There are tons of people who are more knoledgeable about GUI than he is. Gnome is ugly and hardly functional as comapared to Windows or Mac stuff. There is nothing realy revolutionary about Gnome.
How the heck are they going to get funding. Given GPL app there will be probably 15 people who will pay for that.
That's very unlikely. If I want to run Windows soft there is nothing that will run this better than .. you guessed it , Windows.
