AmigaOS 4.0 Developer Pre-release goes gold : Comment 217 of 283 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bernie Meyer on 18-Apr-2004 04:11 GMT | In reply to Comment 216 (Ben Hermans/Hyperion): So you get to tell these people "bugger off". Big deal.However, *if*, as a consequence of your decision to choose section 3(b) of the GPL, you experience such "harrassment", it becomes even harder to understand why you do not choose section 3(a) instead --- at which point noone could possibly harrass you.Care to explain? I mean, seriously --- considering that you must *have* the source code, ready to be shipped to anyone who requests it, why in the world would you *not* put it on the CD, thus opening yourself up to all that crap?This reminds me of the whole episode where you cited "piracy issues" regarding the release of a Warp3D software renderer for 68k, yet ignored the very same "piracy issues" for the release of a PPC software renderer. I knew why, you knew why, and yet, you publicly kept spouting this "piracy" nonsense. Now, everybody knows why the sources are not on the CD, and some people, while acknowledging that you are within the letter of the license, feel displeased with what they see as an attempt to circumvent the spirit of it. Everyone could agree on that, except you keep claiming that everything is fine and anyone who suspects there might be ulterior motives you don'y admit to is out to get you.... |
