Thank you. When earlier I brought up latches when I started brainstorming the defenses GRSecurity might raise, Bruce Perens quickly dismissed me as a "fool". https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/07/msg00830.html OK, I apologize to all who were involved in this conversation. I will block

First of all, give some proof of your accusation. Second of all, prove the relevance of such. Third of all: identity politics is off-topic in a discussion on copyright. Is it not you, thus, who is trolling and attempting to derail the conversation? On 2017-07-29 16:49, Adam Borowski wrote
