You're right. I don't get it and I still don't get it. Why isn't it a "We Fully Comply With the Blizzard Terms of Service" guild instead of a GLBT guild? There is a difference between trying to avoid harassment and promoting an agenda.
Also, wouldn't their efforts would be better served getting the players using offensive language sanctioned or removed from the servers rather than trying to insulate themselves from said offenders (which is impossible)? I'd support it in a heartbeat if someone told me their expressed goal was to see the removal of anyone who used "gay" in any context from the server. I'd have no problems with a few less juvenile punks on my server (no matter what their actual age)?
I have no desire to discuss sexual preferences or anything else of a personal nature in an online game. Is that a bad thing? Am I the only one? If you don't tell me, I won't know. If you want to discuss your sexual preferences, there are plenty of appropriate services to do that. An mmorpg is not one of them.
By the way, as a matter of equality, could somone advertise a "heterosexual friendly" guild? If not, you've set a double standard.
If the US were really worried about security as it relates to Checkpoint, they might have started with Firewall-1, a firewall product in common use in the US. The idea that they'd now be worried about snort seems laughable.
The reason big business is significant to open source software is that it can bring additional resources to a project. More hands and eyes produce more results. It's as simple as that. It doesn't matter where those resources come from.
