GNU, GPL, Open Source On June 29, 2007 the Free Software Foundation released the GNU General Public License, version 3. What happened since then? Federico Biancuzzi had the opportunity to discuss many subjects with the FSF's founder and president Richard Stallman.

Using one's real name in forums proves nothing in any direction.


It prove I am not afraid to have my words associated with me , usually it's because they are true or I believe them to be true ... It also so show I am not ahsame of my ancestor and of who I am.

They do produce and use F/OSS software


Witch show that company pay for it and develop for it ...

BUT they also use and produce closed-source applications.


It's there ressource and their choice ... don't mean I have to agree of support them in that choice do. Can't get anything if you never ask.

There is no freaking way they'll ever give you access to the sources of all of their software.


History show that people can and will change their minds ... Some company did give me access to the source of all their software and more will do so in the future.

As such they are not F/OSS companies.


They are more then FOSS company , they are FOSS user , contributer and funders and developers ... YOU and your ilk don't get to decide anything ... We are not gonna turn our back on Free Software contribution and license switching for compatibility sakes because it upset *something* who can't use it's real name.

0.01% multiplied by 100 000 end ups giving you a good code base to work soemthing up.

under oat = under oath , yes I make writting mistakes , but that don't change anything.

You want to take on RMS and the FSF why don't you all group up , remember your real name and face him and the foundation in court since you are all accusing him of something or another.

And it still does not have anything to do with anything here. I don't care if someone posts anonymously or not, doesn't matter, the only thing I care about is what they are saying.

What's my "ilk" here? I don't think I belong to any group and I'm not trying to decide anything. I was just saying that they are not F/OSS companies as long as they use and produce closed source software. They'll be F/OSS companies only when they rid themselves of such. Period.

I haven't been accusing him of anything. You're just raving rampantly here and yelling at everyone who says anything just makes you look like a lunatic. And just try to guess if anyone takes lunatics seriously? And besides, do you REALLY believe threatening with court makes you look any more sane? No one here has been slandering RMS with the intent of causing him harm so there are no legal grounds for any sort of court action.

You belong to the insulting group of anonymous who think they are above the law because they post anonymously ...

Free Software is not about who contribute Free Software , or how YOU think and say things should go.

If your words and caring had any value for you or anyone else you would respect yourself and post with your real life name.

Disagree all you want you have zero value or point that would sway me the other way.

I will now stop replying to you under this article.
