GNU, GPL, Open Source "I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or bad person, from what I can tell either way you are screwed." This is what Georgia Lass, lead character of my favourite television production "Dead Like Me", says, when she introduces herself in the pilot episode. I cannot speak for the developers behind the Kororaa Xgl live CD, but I'd think Georgia nailed the situation they must be in pretty well. Note: this is the Mon... Err, Sunday Eve Column. My apologies for the delay, but I was... Incapacitated yesterday eve.

"Yes, that's exactly what is being discussed."

No , your discussing copyright of Linus to the kernel , thats what your discussing.

"The kernel is licensed under the GPL and the email alledges that Kororaa breaks this license."

close enough , yes.

"I did not. I simply pointed out that contrary to your claims the GPL legaly is a copyright license. "

I said that the GPL is not a normal copyright license. I never said its not a legal copyright license , go read what I wrote.

"Show me one.
Quote what I wrote, write up how you understand it and then show me how what I wrote was a lie. "

I understand it the way you wrote it , not what you tought you wrote.

"As there obviously is no sense trying to reason with you,"

If you made sense you would not need to reason with me.

"assuming that your ... gnu site about free software"

Why ? I read it probably , some I fully agreew with others , I see are politically motivated and disagree with.

" so that in future discussions you won't make any more false claims about free software "

I dont make false claim.

"and thus stop to give free software a bad name"

I dont give free software a bad name.

Its not because of me that GNU/Linux GPL graphic driver dont exist today. I am probably one of the few who say we really have a need for them.
