"It saddens me greatly to announce that, effective today, any of my Amiga-related software development has been mothballed indefinitely. This means that, pending any unexpected developments, there won't be any "Amithlon v2" (aka "Berniethlon"), nor any further support or add ons for "Amithlon v1" by me."

"Berniethlon" - The End : Comment 208 of 221 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 03-Dec-2002 00:33 GMT | In reply to Comment 202 (Hammer): > What gives them the right to label someone "unethical"?
They don't label "someone", they label the practice. It has been their stance since their inception in 1985, and anybody who does not have their head stuck up their arse knows it full well. If they had not believed as they do, there would have been no FSF and no GPL.
I find it utterly hypocritical that the same people who bitterly complain that they are offended by the FSF philosophy quite happily use and profit from GPL software when they could put their money where their mouth is and opt for non-GPL alternatives at all times. No one is forced to use GPL software, no one is forced to adopt GPL code into their applications. Those people that do, do it of their own free will!
So Richard Stallman's beliefs offend Steffen. Well, Steffen's beliefs offend Stallman. So f###ing what? Who says the FSF, or anyone else for that matter, have to conform to Steffen's opinions about what is professional and what isn't?
If he doesn't like their views, he doesn't have to use their software, or that released under their licence. Simple, innit? |
