| Quote (JohnMurga @ June 18 2008,21:11) | | Thanks for the links. My reading comprehension is apparently many levels above yours because I understand that the GPL, which is the license under which I seem to recall you released murgalua, doesn't give *you* the right to determine how I use your or anyone else's GPL code on my own computers. Yet that seems to be your biggest problem with all this. |
If putting words into my mouth is the only way you can make you point ...
Almost every point in the GPL V2 (under which I released my code), has been violated ... READ IT.
| Quote (JohnMurga @ June 18 2008,21:11) | | Neither of my previous responses was mean-spirited. Nor was my reference to this and another issue on my blog. I asked if you ordered sources to see if the changes to your code -- ALLOWED UNDER GPL -- have been noted and attributions to you provided. I also reiterated the freedom to users of GPL code to change the code as much as to use it and see it. GPL doesn't require others to use your code as *you* determine, but rather they do. |
Again, READ the GPL V2 and what I have written.
Maybe what you have written too :-)
| Quote (JohnMurga @ June 18 2008,21:11) | | If you're looking for spirits of cooperation and openness, perhaps you should start with that yourself. Instead, you've insinuated here by linking to your forums that others have violated a license that expressly allows them to use your code in such ways as they have as long as (a) they make the sources available and (b) attribute your copyrights where necessary. You apparently haven't verified for yourself if either has or has not been done. And *you* have the nerve to call *me* ignorant. |
Now I'm just thinking you read what you want to believe :-)
But you can keep the ignorant adjective ...
| Quote (JohnMurga @ June 18 2008,21:11) | | I appreciate your freedom to use whatever license is afforded by all the products you've chosen to incorporate into murgalua. Most of them use licenses much less restrictive than GPL which afford you to do whatever you want with it. Too bad you don't share the same views of freedom and would choose to prevent others from using your code as they see fit and, like Bill Gates, require them to use it on your strict terms. |
Wow, again, if you had been paying attention you would have seen I am referring to the code I wrote ... Which as it happens is the code that was ripped out and not attributed (in many ways, as in it's original form it's a command line prog with a copyright notice, the C++ code, etc, etc) ...
But there's other points too.
A minimum of research on your side would reveal that I have always been very aware and careful around the licenses of whose work I use ... But I guess that wouldn't fit into the picture you had made up when you started bating me.
You sad sad man :-)
Cheers
