What you call ideology I like to think of as taking the long view. The primary goal is to create software that will remain useful.
Time and time RMS has been proven right about the detrimental consequences of non-free software, but usually over the span of many, many years.
Non-free software has a habit of working well and doing what you want right until it doesn't and then royally screws you.
You can only be pragmatic about it (most of us are) if you are aware of the risks and consequences. Otherwise you're just being ignorant.
- rimantas 13y agoIt is really very funny to read your and similar comments and to think why clang was created.
- mwcampbell 13y agoI don't get it. Why do you think clang was created, and what does that have to do wwith the GP?
- tonyarkles 13y agoTo me, clang was created because gcc was working great for a lot of things, but wasn't working well for what some people wanted to do (and couldn't officially be made to do it without forking)
