I don't know what you wanted to refer to. I do know that Red Hat distributes Berkley DB, and so you can get bug fixes from them independently of Oracle.
And they can only keep doing this if they fork it and start fixing bugs themselves.
I always found it deeply ironic that SICP, of all books, starts out with the statement that "Thus, programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute", and then goes on to use Scheme.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have read all week.
While you are sitting around complaining, REAL MEN are making it do things like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBegD7k2wvo.

I am confused. Did you think I was ever referring to anything other than exactly that?
Generally, it is considered ethical to provide people with bugfixes for code you are responsible for.
And it is not, except by having special case terms in the license to allow it even though it would not usually be allowed.
Except with the AGPL, use is not free.
And, you know, anyone who wants to actually have bugfixes and updates.
The comfort comes from that comfortable feeling that you are special and better than everyone else because you use a special keyboard.

In other words, you are still using Windows.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do.
As you clearly wouldn't believe this without concrete evidence, I'm sure you won't mind presenting some of it for us less informed.
Once could similarly create C program code oneself, so I don't see the need for open source.
Let's see... five-digit user ID, excellent karma... The very image of a 50 cent army member.
Remember, truth is entirely irrelevant. What is important is to not let anyone know you are a hypocrite!
You'd do well to ensure you are not yourself being whooshed, before rushing to claim others are.
It must be very frustrating for you every time someone calls you.
The whole NSAKEY debacle is pure nonsense.
It's a few letter displayed on your phone.
Get some sense of perspective, seriously.
So then it will be too slow instead.
They were prohibited from selling it ABROAD, due to export regulations. That was back when the NSA was still not supposed to be spying on US citizens.
Do you usually charge money for your spare time?
Because then you lose a lot of the picture. Plus it doesn't help you if you're using longer shutter times that blur the image.
Yes, but you still can't patent something that's widespread public knowledge.
Which, of course, this isn't. It's been long since forgotten.
Hahah, the sheer number of things ripped off from Half-Life in that trailer...
