I think it's safe to say there's a world of difference between license violations for a piece of software that's closed source, proprietary and sold for profit and a license incompatibility on two open source projects caused by a single clause in licenses that are otherwise compatible.
You may have the chops and cred to call someone stupid that wrote dtrace but I'd certainly hesitate before doing so myself.
- jra_samba 11y agoPeople can be very smart technically, yet legally very naive. This is a very naive legal position, which I certainly feel justified in calling "stupid, stupid, stupid".
- brazzledazzle 11y agoCertainly if I was a lawyer I'd probably feel comfortable using an insult like "stupid" to describe a legal position but I'm not. You might be, I don't know. But it's still unnecessarily negative.
