Hi all, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
This time I'm not writing to the list because I have a trouble, or |
| 7 |
because I've some questions that need to be answered. This time, I do |
| 8 |
write simply because I want to THANK all people that makes possible a |
| 9 |
system like Gentoo GNU/Linux, that brings their effort and free time to |
| 10 |
make us equally (in rights). |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
There have past time since I defend GPL and CC licences. Why can I have |
| 13 |
access to a book that costs 80 dollars and someone that hasn't got that |
| 14 |
money can't have access to it? I think that knowledge is something that |
| 15 |
everybody should have free access to. Is a good (and a right) that |
| 16 |
should be expanded, and nothing best than this kind of licenses. This is |
| 17 |
good for everybody. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Time agreed with us (with those that defended free knowledge). |
| 20 |
Privative software is not safer because of hidden source code [it has |
| 21 |
been tested experimentally xD]. It has been possible to develop apps |
| 22 |
like Samba or Wine, without knowing any Windows source code, only |
| 23 |
testing and "hearing", this is a point for free minds. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So I want to thank all the people that takes a minute helping others |
| 26 |
with their knowledge, doesn't matter how much it is. I want to thank all |
| 27 |
developers that takes care of their packages, and making them as good as |
| 28 |
we have installed right now (excellent quality). And I'd like to thank |
| 29 |
master Robbins his idea of a particular system like Gentoo. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I'd like to say something that is like a "feeling", I don't know if |
| 32 |
you'll agree with me. This happens me with Gentoo and LFS (Linux from |
| 33 |
scratch). Why Gentoo and not Debian or other distro? Because for me is |
| 34 |
like going to a restaurant, and they serve wine on your table, opening |
| 35 |
it in front of you. Is a matter of education. I prefer my system to |
| 36 |
download source code, apply patches (with diretives that I can control, |
| 37 |
and no one more), and make for me the app. For me a binary packages |
| 38 |
system is like if in the restaurant they open the wine bottle in the |
| 39 |
kitchen, instead of in front of you. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Thank you all guys, |
| 43 |
Rafael Fernández López. |
