Why do you bring this drama here?? How does quasi-political outrage affect FreeDOS? There is little to link FreeDOS to FSF other than the GPL, but (as you know) the GPLv2 is very, very popular overall in the software world. Honestly, he's been known as "very eccentric" for many years. I don't think anybody is surprised. He has opinions and voices them (whether unpopular or not). You know what they say about opinions, right? Everyone has one. Let's not crucify anyone, and let's not cancel any technical plans because of irrational anger. You don't have to like or support him, but keep in mind that it's very inconvenient having to walk on eggshells just because various other people can't get along for trivial reasons. (Yes, hypothetical opinions are trivial. If someone can't handle their own emotions upon every outrageous statement, nobody else wants to deal with that. It's reasons like this that I don't use Twitter.) Please don't fan the flames here. It's not important. If you want to start a crusade, you're going to lose. (Jim, I'm not condoning his opinions, but it's tiring always reading about drama like this.) _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
