I am not saying that it is Jörg's fault. Just saying that arguing will end in |
| 28 |
a flame fest. I have seen him writing about the GPL and his more favorite |
| 29 |
licences before - nothing Nicolas or anybody else says will change his mind. |
| 30 |
And nothing he will say will change the mind of the GPL fans. |
| 31 |
So there will be some clash of egos and a big, fat flame war, each side |
| 32 |
convinced to speak the ultimate truth. No thanks. |
