i understand what he is trying to do, but i think he should focus his attention on, i don't know, actually shipping his GNU operating system. or perhaps building compelling products that are free software. free software enabled open source to eat the world, but they, themselves, are not doing the eating. i'm saying, shut the fuck up with this pedantic shit and make something that people want. our competitors are multi-billion dollar companies. we can't just promote ideas, we actually have to fight head to head. most people aren't ideologically driven, they just buy whatever seems best/most convenient. focus on actual measurable things like marketshare. how many people are getting the four freedoms? that's the goal, right? so measure it. free software has benefits, but they aren't being marketed aggressively enough to actually reach consumers. we have all of the pieces, but no vision or marketing strategy. strong copyleft provides equal protection for IP as proprietary licensing, especially when you consider AGPL. charge for shit. make it sexy. whatever you have to do to make money and spread free software. sue over license infringement. fight, damnit!
