Whither the Linux Foundation?

Quoting: Can we please not have yet another GPLv2 - GPLv3 - BSD three-way flamewar?

Discussions on this topic will continue to happen and they will need to continue to happen, and as you said there have been no flames yet. Can't be skeered of what might happen, and you can't avoid this discussion coming up a lot, it is a very important discussion within the FOSS world.

Yeah, but they all boil down to what freedom means to you. Freedom of code or freedom of the user who's using the code. You can't argue taste :-)

True, true.

Quoting:You can't argue taste

I've tasted them.

I decided I don't need that much fiber in my diet.

> ...but I can see this going downhill fast.

Gee that slope looks slippery. Whoops!... [Insert sound of person falling]...

FLAME ON!!!!

GPL, BSD, MIT and ARTISTIC all suck.

The only good license is a dead license.

Why would free software types care about licenses? They're all Commies anyway, so everything belongs to everybody so long as everybody is the state's officials and all those not meeting that criterion are nobody and hence own nothing.

And, while I'm at it -- shouldn't the Constitution be re-written in C#/.Net? The thing is too freakin' old to keep up with the times. The founders only used java because they refused to buy tea.

Puppies and kittens are tasty with a bit of curry, and oh so tender.

@tc:

I'll bring the Ewoks.

Mmmmm....Ewoks......

TC -

Could use a good puppy recipe.

Broke down a couple of months ago and bought a German Shepherd pup, fondly remembering my childhood dog. What I forgot is how freakin' rambunctious, curious, mischievous, and willful a Shep pup is. And, of course, he's 3 1/2 months old now, so he's also starting to g-r-o-w. I thought my daughter's pug pups were bad -- he's definitely more mellow than they are, but he's bigger than both of them put together and that equals a handful.

Hope I survive til he grows up.

When I was growing up my oldest sister had a gigantic Great Dane...it was so wild and clumsy as a puppy, yet so gentle, docile and graceful as a fifty-foot tall adult (seriously, it was big even for a Dane)...do the Shepherds grow into something along those lines or do they maintain the strong will?

heh, my little Layla pup is 13 weeks old. The world is her chew toy, especially big brother. Rambunctious is definitely the word of the day- little bugger has endless energy. Very good for obsessive computer geeks who don't get up out of the chair enough on their own. She's some kind of border collie mix- I suspect some Australian shepherd, and she looks like she's going to be a big girl. Not like the typical little black and white cow dogs that maybe hit 30 pounds in a rainstorm, but more like 45- 50 pounds.

What was the topic again?

Ewoks, I think.

Curried Ewoks, wasn't it?

I saw StarWars ep.6 recently for the first time in a decade, and By Cromm! I'd forgotten just how annoying Ewoks are....

Even my 5-year old was offended.

MMFFMMUhFF- Trying not to say anything.

Download and burn to CD. :)

Topic? We have topics??? Why does no one tell me these things. Oh, that's right someone did. What was his name again?....

>do the Shepherds grow into something along those lines or do they maintain the strong will?

I'd say the answer is yes. It's very important to socialize them properly as they grow up, and to demonstrate clearly just who's in charge.

However, properly raised adults are wonderful, obedient, intelligent and fearless dogs.

My boyhood dog always kept a mischievous streak and had to get out for a good run in the field now and then, but absolutely mellowed nicely.
