NSI employee tries to blame the NSF...

I tried to register fuckyou.com, and was rejected. I put up a quick and dirty web page calling NSI a bunch of hypocrites.
A couple of days ago, and AOLuser writes me claiming that it is the NSF that has the seven dirty words policy, not NSI. He claims to be an employee [of NSI?], and that he therefore is so much better clued than the rest of the world.
If it is the NSF with the policy, why is NSI in court over it?
: uhh as far as I can tell your friend was running :/usr/freeware/bin/ls --help
Actually, he was running dmls --help
Ya know, I'll never post to slashdot again before I have had my second cup of coffee. Making a mistake here is worse than getting into a fender bender with an undercover cop.:)
A friend of mine at NASA was playing with the 'custom' ls that ships with XFS, and since the docs suck he fed it '--help' as an option. Up popped a help screen topped with a GPL license statement.
XFS was using 'stolen' GPL code, so they either had to completely rewrite it or give it away.
They hide that little tidbit, don't they?
If you are running XFS, try tagging the above and see what happens. (Sorry I don't remember the command itself, I don't get to play with IRIX boxes much.)
I somehow think that the people following the link to my personal web page are not actually looking for me... You just want to see my girlfirend naked, right?
I doubt my net connection can handle this, but I'd like to get some feedback...
just think... you can tell credit reporting agencies that they have to pay you in order to sell your credit info to all those damn 'pre-approved' credit card people...

:SGI's //bin/ls does NOT accept a --help flag, nor does it pop up a GPL notice.
/bin/ls! Although I was wrong anyways, I said it was the custom XFS ls that ships with XFS, NOT /bin/ls. (And I was wrong, sorry.)
I DID NOT say
It is actually the custom ls that ships with the DMF product. If you execute 'dmls --help' you get a help screen with a GNU license statement.
My apologies for confusing this with the XFS release to GPL. I'm not an SGI or IRIX user and I botched this up. Sorry.
But if you are running DMF, give it a try....

SGI had NO choice. They HAD to GPL XFS.
