I will do that when the EFF stops suing people for violating the GNU and requiring them to:
1) open up all their source
2) hire a "compliance" officer to make sure they aren't violating the GNU license in the future.

With all their talk about freedom, it sure sounds like they are just as restricting as the RIAA/MPAA
- i80and 16y agoGNU is an operating system. I believe that you're reaching for the GPL. Also, the EFF is not suing people; gpl-violations.org is. To the best of my knowledge (and Wikipedia's), they aren't associated. Perhaps you could explain the connection between the two?
- rick888 16y ago"GNU is an operating system." It's pretty easy to confuse the two when you slap GNU in front of everything (including operating systems and licenses). Stallman even tried rename Linux a few years back to: GNU/linux http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html "the EFF is not suing people; gpl-violations.org" you're right, I meant the FSF, which convinces many people to assign them the copyrights of their apps and then sues violators in court. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.html http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-assign.html
