Nope. I'm just tired of giving proof after proof that you're wrong and having

you restate the same tripe.

Certainly. I never said otherwise. What I stated and then *implied* was that

you are repeating the same false logic over and over again trying to make

people believe that it isn't borked and that that false logic is exactly the

same crap I've seen from the FSF numerous times.

Where I am examining the facts and drawing a logical conclusion. That it

happens to form an opinion is secondary to the truth.

Okay. Still doesn't explain why you have argued that the GPLv3 doesn't attempt

to cover hardware and then provide proof that it does.

This is no surprise - I had a feeling this was the truth. Not that it changes

my opinion at all. As I've said, I have never liked the GPL at all, but v2 is

the best that exists - even though I've put together custom licenses myself,

none of them have had the number of lawyers look at them that the GPLv2 has

had.
