Han. Verskoon die dialek, ek is Afrikaans. Jou woorde was "Restrictions on freedom is a good thing". Jy moet erken dai hierdie woorde in opposisie is met die BSD lisensie. Dit is hoekom almal vir jou kwaad is, omdat dit duidelik is dat jy die GPL bo die BSD lisensie ag. Die hele rede vir die bestaan van BSD is die lisensie. Jou woorde skep beelde van OpenBSD onder 'n GPL lisensie, en dit word hewig teengestaan hier. Die ander lede baklei slegs vir iets waaring hulle glo, die basis van die werk wat hulle doen. Wees geduldig en dink oor wat jy se. Marius.
