Yay! A TM specifically dedicated to La Queef! (See “stream”, as of this date).

Seriously, though, it all comes down to this eventually. IBM & Oracle & Google on one side, merrily plundering away; RedHat on the other, merrily distorting the GPL as they go along; and dimwits like King who couldn’t code a hole in a wet copy of the Liverpool Echo in the middle.

Even asking these people to “share” is apparently offensive.

The impression I get from him is that anyone who owns a business should be forced to share their source, but individuals like him shouldn’t have to.

Never mind that the cause/license/dimwit-stallman that he follows all state that he has to share.

@DA:

Yes. I thought it was a neat summation. And from the horse’s own mouth, yet.

@TMR:

If that were the case, and if he was indeed a proper anti-corporate anarchist, then I would at least admire his efforts. As it is? Mention Bakunin to him, and he’ll just think you’re talking about the Microsoft Attorney defending the bastards against a (nonexistent) charge of Illegal Trivial Pursuit.

Brainless, basically.

I’m just saying that forcing people to share is not what free culture is about. Free culture is against forcing other people NOT to share.

It’s an important distinction but that that complicated. I’m actually surprised it flew right above your heads.

And the asterisk is?

Do please share.

And let me spell this out for you in words of one syll, litt man.

Not share is a choice. Share is not a choice.

You want a choice, you live with that choice.

Other, you are a hyp.

Cap? Eesh!
