New I am not missing this point.
I am fully aware of this point.

I choose to poo-poo it.

It really isn't a big deal.

I honestly think you are reading way too much into: Web Services

You'll see.

I see your point, can you see mine? And Why I feel that way?

New I see what you're saying
But it is false, Greg. Entirely false.

According to you [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=218275|here] profit=distribution of binaries.

Your resentment, your reason that the 'spirit' of the GPL is being violated, is entirely anti-business.

You don't value the ability to change source as a feature of OSS, which, BTW, makes that feature about as useful as 'shared source'.

Running a binary is NOT distribution, unless said binary is downloaded and run locally.

As pointed out [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=218397|here], even Richard Stallman USED to agree with me about this.

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
