That's got nothing to do with what was talked about. It's not about the
OpenBSD cd, but about having ...

... distributing proprietary software, which is tantamount to a
recommendation that is RMS's problem with OpenBSD. Nothing else...
GNU file sharing software (P2P) distributes proprietary software.
Google distributes links to proprietary software.
Your internet subscription is distributing proprietary software to you..
your internet connection allows you to download tarballs and zips. Blame
your internet company for distributing all the bad stuff to you. Don't
use an internet connection unless it is a free internet connection that
does not link to and point to any proprietary software. But go ahead and
download GCC for windows which allows you to build infinite amounts of
proprietary software to run on Windows... because that is perfectly OKAY.
GCC does not FORCE people to build proprietary software.. nor does your
internet company force you to use GNU based P2p clients that distribute
proprietary software. OpenBSD does not FORCE people to build stuff from
ports. gNewSense does not FORCE people to use binary blobs (or maybe it
does if we look into it and find something which will be corrected soon
only because we mentioned it)
That small (it's only a few packages) problem could be easily fixed and
get OpenBSD listed at FSF's page.
GCC could be easily fixed by someone deleting all copies of MS Windows
version of GCC off the internet.
My free software foundation states in the fifth freedom, that one must
not distribute copies of a compiler that can:
1. encourage the use of non free software
2. encourage building infinite amounts of non free software
3. allow existing non free software users to be able to build more
proprietary software easily
It would maybe be better if OpenBSD was never mentioned on FSF page..
because if it was listed on the FSF page, people would mistake OpenBSD
with having something to do with the FSF or having some relation to FSF.
This would not be good.. since it would mean OpenBSD would be tied in to
the Stallmanist system.
Don't act like children in a tantrum, who seldom listen to reason.
Speaking? May I ask who is calling?
My entire life is dedicated to reason, rationale, science.
Look up the word 'free' in the dictionary and let me know what you find.
A dictionary is the standard definition reference guide. Not some
personal opinion website based on Stallmanist view.
GCC for ms WIndows does not even REQUIRE thinking first. Everyone
knows GCC is a great Windows Proprietary compiler to create
proprietary software.. it's just a cheaper compiler than MS VC. It is
so easy to get or make GCC on windows, because Stallman knows his
figurehead will increase in size if he encourages everyone and anyone
to use GCC for proprietary closed source use.
This list is actually the first place I read of widespread use of GCC
for making proprietary software. Since so many lies are said about what
RMS promotes or not, I don't feel confident in taking your word for it
(specially since you seem to resort easily into insults).
It's not that RMS directly promotes people to use GCC for propeitary
software.
It's that RMS provides a scaffold for people to use GCC for propreitary
software.
A worse scaffold than the openbsd ports link.
The entire GCC compiler has a link in it or scaffold which points to MS
Windows.
The GCC scaffold I speak of is the one which recommends using MS WIndows
to compile GCC software.. the links that point to MS WIndows zip files
that allow anyone to easily install GCC on MS WIndows so that they do
not have to use free operating systems.. and so that they can use GCC to
build infinite amounts of proprietary software.
You haven't heard about embedded developers using GCC for C development?
What did you think they used, Watcom C? MS Visual C?
No, you are a hypocrite to. Have you been brainwashed?
I am going to add the 'cult strategies' and brainwashing warnings to
the GNG website. You've all been fooled by the cute animals on the
GNU site. SNAP OUT OF IT.
IN fact, you are a troll.. why am I replying? This just goes ON, and
ON, and ON, and ON.
/me smiles... such a troll I must be, who's replacing proprietary packet
filters with OpenBSD everywhere I can.

The problem is not you.. you have been brainwashed. I am forgiving you
for it. The problem is the cult that has brainwashed you. I meant not to
be rude to you. I meant to be rude to the cult who has brainwashed you.
When you have been brainwashed, it is not your fault. What we have to do
is undergo therapy.. once you have been un-brainwashed with my therapy,
you will thank me for my therapy.
