I write free software, HasciiCam is just one, FreeJ is another, MuSE is another, they are all in Debian even if i never asked you to include them, still i love free and open source software and of course i let people do what they can with it. now you can imagine that I and I am offended by the argument of seeking "personal gratification" made in this same thread here! it's obviously not what i seek since i never wanted it to be in Debian, and you come and insult me in public this way! yes because in my philosophy doing things for personal gratification is not such a good behaviour! i find it an insult: my agenda includes the development of free and open source software for political reasons and carrying a political message, i make this well manifest thru my actions, day by day. this is all what i care of. and again I and I am offended by someone using small bureaucratic clauses of the free license actually as an argument AGAINST a programmer of free software. oh, is so great to be here with you guys!!! ok now please be careful: i'm talking about correctness and respect! I think many people here is being very arrogant and this is indeed not the first time i realize that among Debian developers, especially the youngs and less experienced ones, so i finally come to this small issue to give evidence to a more general problem here. To me eyes your behaviour is outrageous and i really hope you don't threat like that the people around you, in that case you must have very big problems in your social life! Instead i think you should really care to threat with more humanity people that you talk with on the other side of the screen; if it is not the case then please leave Debian development because yours is not going to be a good contribution, considered that such a collective project also requires social skills to be developed. In fact i do care about Debian and i hope it can get better in future, so please adopt a better attitude and take care to talk friendly to upstream authors - don't trick them on the basis of the same free licenses they adopt because that can be a big drawback for licensing free software in the eyse of many programmers! - and don't make your points on the level of conflict, but please SEEK AGREEMENT! finally, coming back to HasciiCam, i think that there is room for both definitions as previously stated in the thread, that is a good and peaceful solution and we should all learn from that spirit. so here i draw a line in the ground with my finger and say - - -------------------------------------------------------------- RESPECT IS DUE TO THE DREADLOCK RASTAMAN do what you want, but give respect to who writes free code and commits his ideas to the community: that is the most important thing you care about when you are doing a GNU/Linux distribution. now please get out of my hut and go playing indian and cowboys in the garden you kids! :) peace, ciao - -- jaromil, dyne.org rasta coder, http://rastasoft.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Cryptographically signed mail, see http://gnupg.org iD8DBQFBrepiWLCC1ltubZcRAqXBAJ9MVNTlU4YIu0dDUbSI4ZS2ccE0EgCdG+i+ u9ELjxj6ei62mglfUYwpEeg= =Pr0q -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
