Has the GPL changed since then? Has the BSD license changed since then? Have the laws changed since then? If none of these things have changed, then I don't see how they would be any less relevant today than they were at the time they were originally said. Moreover, if you want to dredge up this old flame war, you need to provide proof that what they said is no longer relevant, as opposed to requiring them to prove that it is still relevant. Since you can't do that, your entire basis for your revisiting this ancient flame war is totally invalid. >> And now, please, let the thread die and don't bother answering to this >> either. > > If you want the thread dead, don't keep it alive by continuing to add > to it. Let me be the second person to request that you let this thread die yet once again. Let me also say that if you persist in continuing this line, I will take this matter up with the FreeBSD postmaster and the list administrators, and do everything I can to get you unsubscribed from the list and your posting privileges revoked. -- Brad Knowles, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
