OpenBSD project creator Theo de Raadt detailed his concerns regarding BSD-licensed code and Dual-BSD/GPL-licensed code being re-licensed under only the GPL (as previously discussed): "Honestly, I was greatly troubled by the situation, because even people like Alan Cox were giving other Linux developers advice to... Break the law. And furthermore, there are even greater potential risks for how the various communities interact." Regarding the concern that the BSD license allows companies to steal code, Theo reflected: "GPL fans said the great problem we would face is that companies would take our BSD code, modify it, and not give back. Nope - the great problem we face is that people would wrap the GPL around our code, and lock us out in the same way that these supposed companies would lock us out."

My response to you is accurate. I felt uncomfortable making it. Its not what I want to talk about. The world is changing and you are out of step, and its a better world for it.
I will repeat and improve on it in other threads you try to spread your sickness.
I'm actually shaking with emotions I cannot properly express. I pity you.

"I added Jews to the end of the comment especially for you. Because I knew you how you would respond. For you it is culturally acceptable to have hate speech against scapegoat groups. I am saying now, it is not acceptable. It is not part of my culture. The society of my country looks down on people like you, my culture is one where all races and cultures are respected...and celebrated. Not just some of them.
To paint every Muslim as a terrorist; Every Cristian as a someone who burns abortion clinics is evil, and twisted to give a false view of those religions. Its simply bizarre to associate a minuscule minority of these groups with *all* of that of a group that talks about software freedom. "
LOL
I know I said I'd just sit back and watch, but this is too much. I never mentioned "terrorism", "abortion", or anything even remotely resembling anything in your post. LOL
I asked you to explicitly cite a reference of my "hating" anyone (Christians, Jews, Muslims, etc), and you have failed to do so, yet again (because such a reference simply does not exist). If you can't back up your accusations with any evidence, you should think about stop making them.
BTW, did you notice that your posts on this issue have been modded down into oblivion?
We're talking -7's and -6's here. Maybe that should give you a clue that your off your rocker on this one.
