From: Emmy Noether on 17 Jul 2010 20:16 The XEMACS programmers have documented in writing that Richard Matthews Stallman asked them to explain every single line of code. They got exasperated and would explain him blocks. I suspect that they were playing the same game as him - perhaps giving him the same medicine. If he was NEEDY of an explanation of every single line, isn't it UTTERLY SHAMELESS of him to deny others similar information and give them such a puzzle ? We have the right to tell the people what it really is all about. By writing the GNU license, he eliminated the competition only from those one-in-a-million who were persistent enough to read his code and figure it out. This is because by not documenting and describing his softwares, he ensured that there is little chance that the multitude would be able to take the code and do anything with it. But by writing the GNU license, he made sure that those few who can understand it cant take it away and build on it. An new type of license is needed that requires concurrent documentation with each release, even if hand-written. Scans can be put together in a pdf and diagrams drawn with hand.

A free road is good enough.

You can't "get" anything that has not been written. > The concise answer: We want a free road but not a free puzzle. You have the freedom to walk the forest you perceive. You have the freedom to build the road that you want, in that forest. If it is a puzzle to you, that is your own problem. It is not a puzzle because somebody would have cut a whole into pieces and scattered them around. It is a puzzle because nobody put it together yet.

I have no idea of the rights or wrongs of this case. But I've found through experience that when someone uses a "witty" misspelling of someone's name, they are almost always the one in the wrong. 5 lines in and here we are - so if your case has merit, think about whether you want to do this. BTW - Did you see what I did there? I snipped all the rest of the post as it wasn't relevant. I know several people have asked you to do it, but you seem to be having difficulty with the concept, so I thought I'd give you a practical example. -- Online waterways route planner | http://canalplan.eu Plan trips, see photos, check facilities | http://canalplan.org.uk |
