Forgot to answer this. Why do you ask me why? That is what the courts say! I was not suggesting my opinion but mentioning the current state of affairs. Perhaps you must ask http://emoglen.law.columbia.edu/ and also put a Cc to http://www.theos.com/deraadt/ because they were the two people formost involved in this recent issue where the "Why?" question you asked was asked by Eben and Alan Cox and so on. Ask Eben please why he is not asking the "Why?" question now!! He is a FSF/GNU guy he will tell you. Put a Cc to Theo also so that Eben will not be able to deceive you as he did other FSF\GNU fans and even Some Linux Developers and got them into trouble. This is if you are interested in truth and the current state of affairs according to the law. If you are interested in only airing your opinion you can still try to take a spin on anything and everything I said and continue the meaning less chatter! Reality is quite differrent that your arguments and propositions. And that is what FSF people hates after it became institutionalized under a few radicals with blind followers! Well I am stopping this discussion with this! Email me in private if you want to take this topic further I guess we should free the list from this burden so others can post useful stuff :-) --Siju _______________________________________________ Indian Libre User Group Cochin Mailing List http://www.ilug-cochin.org/mailing-list/ http://mail.ilug-cochin.org/mailman/listinfo/mailinglist_ilug-cochin.org #[email protected]
