- duodecim 15y agoNo, because it would be hypocrite to rate the importance of the name higher than the value of the code, and then nevertheless try to steal the code from the guy who spent all the time developing it. The guy wrote the code and gave it a tongue in cheek name. Deal with it. What the hell is wrong with this world? Moral outrage in the sub-urbian latte crowd? Pillows not fluffed enough?
- dotBen 15y agoSince when is forking open source code 'stealing' it? Oh boy, what can of worms am I opening here...
- smosher 15y agoSince when is forking open source code 'stealing' it? According to the FSF? Usually when you do something with it that RMS doesn't like. GPLv3 anyone? (Sorry I couldn't resist.)
