I haven't made a single misleading statement. How about this, when someone does come to me with a statement about the GPL I'll just say, "It's too confusing for me apparently. GPL advocates have asked me to remain silent on the issue, so I can offer no advice." That will be my new official stance, on HN at least.
"And I don't have a bone to pick with the GPL.
A brief review of your comment history when the GPL comes up seems to indicate otherwise."
I've only spoken the truth. I realize that freedom for you means others not having the right to speak, so I'll cease my conversation on it for this thread to appease your desire for all-encompassing freedom.
- SwellJoe 15y agoAll I've ever asked of you is that you not say untrue things about Open Source software and the GPL license, because I believe it harms users and developers. You're trying to play the martyr here, but what you've said about the GPL here, and in other threads, is simply and demonstrably untrue. Those mistruths spread the confusion you claim to want to alleviate.
