You're not really addressing things I've written.

  If a guy has been wearing blue shirts for 19 years straight, it's probably a safe bet that he'll be wearing blue shirts for the years to come.

    Three things: - My goal isn't to argue with someone who's just looking to have an argument with me. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15250932 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15250932 - Strain-the-metaphor is a terrible way to find clarity about anything, and a terribly unfun game to play along the way. - Once again: this doesn't really address the things I've written.

      Sorry, I honestly didn't know you were the same person. I'll rephrase it: If a project has been using FOSS for 19 years straight, it's probably a safe bet that they'll be using FOSS for the years to come. It's time to accept that they're about freedom, and forgive them for their mishap from two decades ago.

  You said KDE was non-free and therefore it doesn't respect freedom that much. I argued that KDE acknowledged that depending on a non-free toolkit was not really OK for a free desktop. Therefore, from the very beginning it tried to fix that. And it succeeded very early by making Qt go open source. Even rms considers KDE free.

    > You said KDE was non-free and therefore it doesn't respect freedom that much. See, the issue is that I've written what I meant to say, but you're substituting those comments with whatever you seem to want me to have said instead and implicitly asking me to take responsibility for your version.
