SharpOS 0.0.1 has been released. "The SharpOS project is aimed at writing an operating system in 100% C#. This originally proved to be a problem of nearly philosophical proportions because C# is a managed language, and by nature isn't designed for such low-level uses as developing an operating system kernel. Please note that although our goal is to create an operating system in C#, the infrastructure we have created allows kernels to be written in any language that targets the Common Intermediate Language bytecodes and exposes pointers and unsafe code."

Use whatever license you prefer for your own works if you choose to release them. Respect the choices of others. And please refrain from trying to stir up a flame war here. There are so many *constructive* ways in which we can all interact. Why waste time and energy fostering conflict and bad feelings?

Even more, I wouldn't name GPL software "free as speech", because the license implies too many restrictions on its use. It is rather "free as cheese".
