Heck, using this process, I can become a coder! src/, here I come! Not sure why anyone is surprised here. They have long demonstrated their (re)definitions of commonly used words and phrases. GNUspeak: "Open Source is THE WAY!" (unless, of course, there's a binary blob around, which is more than sufficient) "Give back to the community!" (which really means, "I'm the community, gimme, gimme, gimme!") "Free as in Freedom!" (but "Free as in no monetary charge" beats the hell out of taking a stand) "Respect our license!" (your license is not worth the bits its stored in) GPL is the way! It's our way, we'll make it your way, too. "Theo's a loud-mouthed jerk!" ("but we'll happily benefit from his work, while we pretend to be the nice guys") "Hardware vendors should respect alternative OSs!" (Ok, they support mine, that's good enough) "OS Diversity is good!" (but "My distro's bigger than yours!" Damn, guys, if that's the goal, Windows wins, everyone else is a loser) Not that certain other "free" software people are all that much different from the Linux fannerds. Free software: It's all about the price. The rest of the talk about "freedom", etc. is just trying to keep them from looking like cheap, greedy bastards. At least for an awful lot of 'em. Nick.
