Still totally unnecessary, though.

In other words, software that was developed at Symbolics was not given
way for free to LMI. Is that so surprising?

Which is conceding Stallman's point.

Anyway, that wasn't Symbolics's “plan”; it was part of the MIT licensing
agreement, the very same one that LMI signed. LMI's changes were all
proprietary to LMI, too.

I don't understand this bit. The only “MIT licensing agreement” I'm aware
off _allows_ you to redistribute your copies without the source, but doesn't
_require_ it.

I do. So far, I resist to calls to put my software in a less
freedom-promoting license.


Hey everybody! Switch from MIT or BSD to GPL! Now!

You appear to be either confused or out of touch with reality. If that wasn't enough, your comment
becomes a bit more amusing once we check your post's user agent.
