And there it is again this silly argument and this twisting of words. |

Typical for those Poettering fanboys. |

And this again. You know the difference between OpenSource and ClosedSource? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
You pay for ClosedSource. For OpenSource you don't need to pay. But I |
| 18 |
have neither time nor energy to explain you the philosophy (before |
| 19 |
Poetterix) of OpenSource. But I can tell you this much. OpenSource and |
| 20 |
its developers usually have no commercial intentions. It seems to be |
| 21 |
different for Poettering and his fanboys. |

And the arrogance and ignorance of Poettering's and his fanboys' again. |

Just compare apples and oranges. Also typical for Poettering and his |
| 35 |
fanboys. |

The situation with KDE has nothing - and I mean nothing - to do with the |
| 38 |
situation with systemd. But I have neither time nor energy to explain |
| 39 |
that, too. I would talk to a wall anyway. |

There they are again: The apples and the oranges. |
