GPL news...

[Warrior]

I really in terms of licensing hate that people are pushed away from using parts of my sourcecode due to incompatible licensing or how they plan to distribute.

Hey, I mean if you can provide some acknowledgement and the software remains free then I really could care less. All of this giving the source code back imho is not needed.

GPL is seriously starting to have more restriction than just licensing stuff from propriatary vendors under NDA.

As a side note, I really get fed up with talking to "guest" and "anonymous"...

Most people tend to either register after 2/3 posts or talk mostly in political subjects. This happens to be a quite political subject, so you can expect a lot of guests and anonymice.

If e.g. Pype wants to make a couple of comments he doesn't want to be associated with the nick "Pype", he could post as "John Doe", "Jennifer" or whatever. You don't even have to set up an account, just type in a name. You don't even have to use the same name ever again, even if it would be useful if you did.

I just cannot fathom why people actually type "guest" or "anonymous" in the "Name" field of their posts.

@solar: You aren't going to like this reply I reckon:

What if they don't care, eh?

You on the other hand needn't reply to "guest" or "anonymous" if you don't want to.

We are free, grown ups and eligible to choose what ever handle we want in this and any other forum as long as it doesn't cross given rules (like NSDAP-stuff, which is prohibited for a reason, and sorta).

Fazit: cool down and live and let live. As simple as that.

You're right, of course. I just can't understand it.
