"We observe that there exists a broad misconception that the BSD permits the licensing of BSD code and modifications of BSD code under closed source licenses. In this paper we put forward an argument to the effect that the terms of the BSD require BSD code and modifications to BSD code to be licensed under the terms of the BSD license. We look at some possible consequences and observe that this licensing requirement could have serious impacts on the unwary."

"What's really sad is you change the subject and insult me more then actually discuss anything ... that's what's childish. "
So when you call people liers just because they don't agree with you it's okey but when someone says something about you thats true they are childish... Only in your basement.
"That's clear that you don't understand , but its not my point that is faulty , I discuss reality , you discuss its positive effect and completely forget and disregard and discard its bad effect. "
Your claims are wrong and that makes your arguments falty in the real world out side your basement.
"http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/donate/sponsors.shtml
Linux consulting ... "
1/3 of the biggest sponsers is a linux company... long way away from what your trying to say. And you cant say what they are the ones that gives the most just by looking at that side...
"I read it , and unlike you I did understood its real meaning. "
But do enlighten us then... Most people in the world outside your basement knows that openbsd is missing out on money because of their 'leader'.
"That's clear you don't know any logic at all ... "
As i allready said i don't know your basement logic.
"No , its not weird , its called number of user per distribution. "
I would call it bs.
"What I offer is always good. But its never something you accept. "
You have yet to offer anything usefull for me to accept.
"No I understand logic , I don't understand what you call as logic. Something that take market share and market income with no retribution or contribution I see as really bad. "
If you don't understand the kind of logic i'm talking about its because of your own definition of logic that only counts in your basement. Who cares if you see it as bad? Do you contribute code to any of the bsd's?
"Yes , that's crystal clear. But that' your problem , you break the law , you will see jail and fines. "
Is that so... Can you tell me why i would be sent to jail for saying i don't care about your religion?
"No , you don't ... "
I don't need some kid in a basement to tell me if i believe in open source or not.
"Then I guess you wont mind me saying that they are not and be ridiculed for it , or the hole point of my illusion and prestige is that ... Making you think I am ridicule and wrong ... Hint : BSD is not Free Software and Open Source could be my way to push for reform to make them stronger as such ... nah I could never be that bright ..."
You should have stoped after illusion. Atleast you had that part correct. You live in a big illusion. One where your the one who's allways right and people who don't agree with you are liers. Don't flater your self... your wrongfullness don't make people think you only make them laugh. You can say all you want that the bsdl isnt a open source licens see if anyone cares. It's not like anyone listens to you anyways. But did you mail fsf and the osi about them not being right about the bsdl being both a "free software" and a open source licens?
