This is what everyone says about RMS and others (linus, you, all the
known opensource guys etc) not commenting on Grsecurity:
>>81349245
"they won't pick your battle because they know it's a losing one
grsec isn't violating copyrights and isn't violating the GPL "
IE: Silence is consent. You don't want to say anything because you
don't want to be sued for libel like Bradly Spengler sued Bruce
Perens. Same with RMS. Either Grsecurity is right or All of you
opensource speakers are scared old men. RMS speaks of _EVERYTHING_
_OTHER_ than enforcing his freesoftware vision anymore. You can try
it: email rms@gnu.org on ANY topic: he'll respond. Mention Grsecurity:
he won't.
You're afraid of losing money. So you won't say anything. This is a
betrayal. Your words roped us all into this opensource thing; and you
won't back it up after we did all that work induced by you, linus,
RMS, etc. ONLY Bruce Perens has the balls to put his money where his
mouth is, out of all of you.
And yes: When you induce people to do work based on a promise of
enforcement (ex: linus) (also RMS (gcc plugins are involved in this
aswell, and RMS explicitly induced copyright transfers on condition
that the copyrights would be defended: which they are not being)) you
are liable for that.
Also all that money you made today isn't actually money.
If a weel cannot roll is it a wheel?
Money cannot buy what it was originally invented for (such is
forbidden). You're not being paid squat.
