Member since:Wait, who has said that Open Source is bad? No one in this topic. The only things have been said that I can figure that you got confused enough into thinking that someone here said OSS was bad were the "quit asking for SkyOS to be Open Sourced". Which certainly isn't a bad thing to ask. Seemingly everytime something about SkyOS gets posted on OSnews, someone, somewhere, manages to bring up the point that "omg SkyOS isn't GPL, I won't use it". The only thing I can say to that is: Grow up.

What’s your fucking point? Every time somebody brings up MacOSX somebody bitches about how Aqua is not Open Source and how it is not fair since Darwin is based on FreeBSD, but you know what, THOSE THREDS DON’T END IN FLAME WARS!!!!! Some people just aren’t very grown up, maybe because they are minors, its not like we check for IDs. Ignore them, masturbate, do whatever you want just don’t post another “I am so sick and tired of this shit” post. OK?
Come on, you are acting like SkyOS is being singled out by some sort of nut jobs. What about all the BSD is dying or BSD is dead. UNIX will die this year and so on posts that liter the internet? No mater how it feels like to you know, you are not being singled out, but by 6 billion people on the planet, lots with PCs and Internet, couldn’t it just be that some idiots got internet access to? Hey AOLs everywhere you know.

>Why not automatically get a -2 rating to a post in the >skyos thread that would use the words "GPL" or "OPEN >SOURCE" ?
Because things like SkyIRC now under GPL would immediately be below the threshold and nobody would see it. Now this might be a bit rude so you pansies can stop reading now. If some of you anti GPL, pro SkyOS zealots could pull you head out of your ass long enough to look at the some of the software that runs on you chosen platform you would finally understand that the GPL and Open Source is a good thing, especially for you. If neither existed your platform would have no software, no compiler and without those two no users.
