If he could channel his ability into something positive, like >the Daemon News article I suggested, it would be one thing. I am, indeed, channeling most of my efforts into very positive things. My occasional explanation of the history and nature of the GPL doesn't take much of my time, but I do consider it to be important and constructive. I may yet do that Daemon News article. However, the disparaging remarks that you made earlier dissuaded me from doing so. Why volunteer my time if it won't be appreciated? I likewise dropped work on two device drivers after Mike Smith berated those projects. Don't expect me to contribute if you're going to look a gift horse in the mouth. >But it >seems that his perception of the GPL is at the centre of his being, >and nothing will shake it. I wouldn't at all say that it's at the "centre of [my] being." But I do very much believe in being ethical. One of the ways in which I AM ethical is to expose schemes such as the GPL when I see them. But if you think that this is all I do, you're wrong. I wrote a column and about half a book chapter today. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
