I am replying to this on the the alg list, which is where the parent should
have been posted, since the parent has no technical content.
Freedom has created GNU/Linux, and freedom will propel it into the future.
With freedom goes choice, and those timid souls that are afraid of choice,
wanting some tyrant to establish a "standard" to decide for them, will just
have to get used to it. The GPL prevents any tyrant from establishing himself.
That is a feature not a bug.
GNU/Linux will be here when WINDBLOWS and other proprietary software are in
the trashcan of history.
The proprietary software development model can not compete with freedom.
We will continue to develop GNU/Linux not bothering to care what the "cool"
people think. We especially do not care what pc-world thinks since they are
shills.
