LOL. This is the problem with you guys. I don't care if he is respectful Sometimes what is right in front of your face is true. That is why stereotypes exist. No one has addressed the point I made. Just saying it in anecdotal when I ha

Sorry welfare dependence does cause crime. Almost all of my step family on the Isle of Wight (this in the UK) are doing this along with most of their friends. I know what I saw with my own eyes. I know what some women have said "I can

Way to strawman with a first sentence. I know how a bell-curve works My family is very large. Most aren't criminals even though we have had two very horrendous individuals. I am sorry I just don't believe it. Even more of my iffy

No it isn't. There deffo is some sort of component to it. I have never met my Grandfather and Uncle that were thieves and another was a sex offender. I do however like mischief and I love the feeling of thieving stuff. I used to work i

Err nope. My Grandfather was a sex offender and my Uncle is a convicted Armed Bank Robber. The rest of the family has their problems like all families do. Mostly recovering from abuse of the previous two guys. What is a bigger problem (espe

> This does sound like you are, again, saying there are circumstances where contributing "back" is legally required NOPE. The context is the original posters words. We are talking about that and I am saying that contributing ba

The event did occur. I saw the source with my own eyes. The point that you keep on ignoring is that the OP said "companies have to contribute back". One of my points is that they don't even do it though they legally should. L

This is classic. I've been around the block mate. Apparently I am responding to a strawman after the OP actually replied and said my assessment of what they said was correct. This is why I dislike speaking to the FSF crowd. It is much

To preface the rest of my response. One of my points why the GPL isn't magic is that developers will just "steal" code if is easier and most companies don't bother checking whether the code is violating licenses when sup

From the OP > Companies extend the BSD OSs with proprietary additions, then abandon the work and it gets lost. With Linux, everyone is forced to play nice and release under the GPL, and the work gets to live as long as people value it.

Maybe I didn't make it very clear. Each time I observed it the company I was contracting for was selling it to a 3rd party (where it was installed on premises) as a proprietary product. >The GPL doesn't mention, AFAIK, any such

The code was compiled, so they cannot make modifications. So it is in violation. You would be right if it was PHP / Python or something else that was interpreted. The real point to take away is that any modifications will never reach u

As that model has an intel chipset it will probably work fine. The main problem will be wireless because of Intel have the micro-code blob. IIRC you will need want to look at this: https://man.openbsd.org/fw_update.1 It bas

I actually created an account as this is one of those things that gets repeated a lot and IMO it simply isn't true. 1. The BSDs adoption was severely hurt in the 90s by the AT&T lawsuit, it basically stopped several years of develo
