You sound like a small child with such an explanation, i.e. "Why?" "Because!". Even your premise is obscure. You, I believe, were wont to publish a huge list of names, all supposed to be variants of some original "flatfish". Your allegation here is that I have done so but once which you declare "far worse". That is the height of illogical thought.amicus_curious wrote:"Peter Köhlmann" <peter.koehlmann@arcor.de> wrote in message news:49a251c4$0$32682$9b4e6d93@newsspool2.arcor-online.net...amicus_curious wrote:"Thufir Hawat" <hawat.thufir@gmail.com> wrote in message news:Ekjol.24698$uG1.18298@newsfe16.iad...On Sun, 22 Feb 2009 10:05:02 -0500, amicus_curious wrote:I have read through it previously and I don't have any problem with the notion as a concept. However, in the case of BusyBox, such hypothetical benefits did not accrue to the copyright holders. There was no modification that changed the library for the authors' benefit or any user. In the JMRI case, the district judge found the same thing to be true.You're begging the question. Your "conclusion" is that the source need only be available if it's been modified, and, since the source wasn't modified, then it need not be available.I am not arguing the meaning of the text contained in the GPL, I am saying that, unless the code has been modified in some useful way, then it is of no value to the community.What you think is irrelevantAnyone wishing to fuss with the code should get it from the original source, i.e. Busybox.org or whatever.Right. In true Bill Weisgerber mode, you try to put the burden on the costumer, instead of the distributor.Just where do you get the idea that my name is Bill Weisgerber? I asked before, but you are at a loss for words.Because you are Bill Weisgerber, that dishonest twit who also posted as "billwg" And no, I am not at a loss for words. Why would I explain how I know? You are in no way whatsoever entitled to an explanation. Just rest assured that you are *far* *worse* in nymshifting than flatffish will ever be
So whether or not anyone uses it is of no consequence to you? Which makes my point.Also, if you were interested in BusyBox, where would you yourself go to get source? Actiontec?How would I know? I am not interested in BusyBox, so I did not look at it at all.
No one is going to use BusyBox without knowing that they can get it from the original source.And you know this from where, exactly? Your ass?It is only basic prudence. Go to the source, not some third party ten times removed. You look silly contesting that idea.And how does the customer know which party is "the source"? For the customer it is the one making that product. So he is going to their website in the first place You are obviously not just totally dishonest, you are also incredibly stupid. You simply don't even try to think your "arguments" through before posting that garbage
Well that is your opinion, but you seem powerless to do anything other than rant. Do you suppose you are impressing anyone? I think that it could only be yourself and I doubt that you are all that impressed with your posts either.
