You can WISH for a better license all you want. But when you start posting, you stop wishing and start asking. And THAT you don't have the right to do in this manner. A quiet email to vroom, asking if the Everything code might be released under the GPL... that would (to me, if I were in his shoes) be annoying, but at least acceptable. Posting like this is not "wishing" or "asking", it's picking a fight over something you have no right to fight over.

I was overreacting... hmm. Let's see. Perhaps I overreacted on the Abigail issue... but I don't think so, and I've gotten far more praise than criticism. As for overreacting here... you ARE a License Nazi. Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, smells like a duck, it must be a duck. If the duck bleats on about how much nicer the world would be if we just released everything under the license of his choice, then the duck is a License Nazi.

You don't like the term License Nazi? OK, how about License Fanatic? License Terrorist? License Fundamentalist? Fool? I can accept any of those, tell me which one you want and I'll go back and change them all.

I get your point. But you're wrong, and you can't accept that, which means I must fail to comprehend the pure goodness of your beliefs. You and all the other License Nazis baah with the sheep and make the same stupid statements over and over again, as if repetition will somehow make it true.

When will I learn to quit trying to make cream from spoiled milk?
