"The world is not only Windows and Linux. "

"Open specs for all hardware"

"that to use this license don't help the spread of many interesting FREE operating system. "

GNU/linux is becoming a Microsoft for BSD/MIT OS users.

No the use of "BSD's" block FREE operating systems. Apple is BSD based yet none of it's driver are useable by BSD/MIT. Microsoft is Full of BSD code , yet none of it's code and driver is usable.

The GNU/Linux BSD code is shared back and provided to the BSD/MIT daily.

The GPL is compatible with BSD/MIT ( most of the approved OSI and FSF one that is ) , the BSD/MIT liar and thieve like to spread lie about it , but legally the too are compatible.

The false theory and fear mongering that BSD will disappear because of the GPL is just that *False* , *theory* and *fear mongering*. If you look at reality they have no trouble using both GPL drivers and GPL software on a daily basis.

1. There is no provision in GNU/Linux to block any other OS on anything.

2. The BSD/MIT OS and it's user enjoy GPL and Linux paid for software daily.

3. BSD/MIT are there own killer by there own hubris and lack of everything.

4. BSD/MIT can start supporting there OS by reaching out to hardware maker instead of calling them names.

5. Paying for support goes a long way. Creating your own seperate hardware channels and showing sales help too.

PUFFY, you must obey my new laws!

"Apple do deliever both code and money to the freebsd foundation. "

"How much code has gone back up the openssh project from the diffent linux distro's? "

"What gpl drivers are you talking about?"

"And what gpl licensed code."

"Besides the licens ofcause. "

"Such as? "

The lack of everything havent stoped the linux distroes from getting their hands dirty in bsd licensed code.

"Who's doing the name calling? "

Hypocrites appears:

PUFFY, you must obey my new laws!

"Whatever open spec there is in the world isn't thanks to Linux and its NDAs and binary blobs."

If all specs were open

no OS would be left behind.

"Now Linux has joined the club of supported OSes by renouncing to its users' freedom to do whatever they want with the hardware they purchased."

There is absolutely no reason not to release a pdf with your internal interface specs.

Nobody is asking them to write MikeOS drivers.

Nobody can build a competitor to nVidia by knowing how to control the card.

"Basically because they don't even have the required technology. "

Everything the vendors say is utter bullshit.

Moulinneuf is a clueless troll. Nothing but lies.

Show your lying as usual ...

About code :

OS X vs FreeBSD ...

Show your lying as usual ...

About hardware :

Apple is a hardware company too ...

Show your lying as usual ...

About BSD'S :

BSD is not just FreeBSD'S ...

Show your lying as usual ...

Apple is not a Mom an Pop shop here ...

You mean back down , they fund , man and deliver code.
The inclusion problem is at the BSD ends ...

1. There is no BSD licensed code. BSD is a protection clause.

2. The BSD protection clause as no provision against license switching. The BSD protection clause as no provision for code being contributed back either.

Somehow it grow an invisible requisite for it when people like you discuss it.

3. Most of the drivers created by GNU/linux company are dual created under hte GPL licensed and BSD protection clause.

The one BSD use's everyday.

Etc ...

No , but that one is gonna be really funny , your gonna claim code ownership and all the GCC owner wil jump on your illegal stealing.

That's your point isn't it , too bad it not backed by reality. BSD's and other liar and coward like you *hamster* might make money from the laws that punished Microsoft from barring others that still exist in reality ...

See above , I named a few.

1. There is no BSD license it's a protection clause and the inteligent BSD are all starting switching away from it.

2. There is no BSD code that exist today that as not received GPL code , direct funding from GPL company , direct GPL developer contribution and involvements , direct hardware loan from GPL company.

3. Last I looked , BSD are the one found guilty of stealing other's code , that's why there not default on most hardware that GNU/Linux finally support ( BSD used to be the support total king in the 70's and 80's ) , why it's not legally insurable too , if you got proof and a case why don't you go in court and prove you point. But we both know you don't ;-)

You do , calling you a coward , liar , thief , traitor and moron is a fact , not name calling , sorry. I don't find pleasure in identifying you as such , I would prefer you would be legal , honorable , contributing to BSD instead of harming it. Using your real name too , but we both know you won't.

* Everyone.

- GNU/Linux user's buy GNU/Linxu hardware.

- GNU/Linux distribution and service and OEM retail vendors ask for it.

- Witch make OEM sale and make offers and order of hardware we want.

- ODM Company making GNU/Linux hardware mandatory due to it being the #1 OS worldwide.

- Hardware device and part maker respond to the demand
of the market.

I know reality and hamster world are two things :

It's rather telling that a company who's first product is Apple based , still don't make any BSD's offers ...

But it as a GNU/Linux offer ...

As for the licensing issue, when Haiku dev started the GPL software base was already the biggest and had also the biggest momentum, and now they complain that they can't use GPL drivers???
Well duh!

See, several of Haiku's developers *want* to write clean, MIT/BSD-licensed, drivers - but that proves quite difficult when the hardware manufacturers aren't willing to throw them a bone.

Did you even read the article?
