yea "For if a thing is not diminished by being shared with others, it is not rightly owned if it is only owned and not shared." http://mailman.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/discussion/2000-December/000210.html it was written 397 A.D. hmmmm Action: chillywilly has to read thta again ans more slowly kewl is it required that you get permission from GNU/RMS to use "Free Software" label? no absolutely not....hehe even GNU is not trade marked what is wrong with: "This is open-source Free Software"? nothing except I might be annoying RMS and camp? ;-) i dont think it wrong though its 'confusing' well you are talking to the "camp" right here or better yet redundant let me explain chillywilly: exactly yes redundant to be 'Free Software' by definition it has to have open source code so you are being redundant in saying 'open source free software' yeah.. ok thanks just curious it would be like saying 'no cost free beer' however you can not go the opposite way and say that by saying 'open source' you are saying 'free software' as something can have open source code but not be free well.. how about 'very liquidy beer' ;-) or something ;-) for example the old mysql license sometimes it depends on who says Open Source....if ESR calls it that I know he doesn't truly believe in software freedom, but if Perens says it I know that he actually cares about software freedom, however, a lot of Opne Source developers do not care of sotware is proprietary so in the beer example you could day 'low cost free beer' which is silly as if you say free beer (one can imply its low cost' however if you say low cost beer chillywilly: open-source or opensource and "Open Source" are different things.. the latter being a title the others are adjectives one can not automatically assume that its free only that its not expensive i hope that makes some semblence of sense i dont like the term 'open source' for this reason :) while i get irrated with the GNU/Linux tirades yes i actually think the calling stuff open source is harmful the problem is that 'free software' as a title just isnt good either :) libre software would be better or ethical software or something but we deal with the poor nuances of the english language best we can :) Free Software emplies no form of compensation to a distributor? GNU/Linxu tirades? chillywilly dont even ask, yes they are tirades how do you figure? perhaps jcater can give you better visualations someone comes to you and says 'hey what does GNUe do? I like linux a lot" and instead of answering what gnue does you go into a 10 minute snit on why they are an evil being for calling it linux that is a 'tirade' yes, that is wrong a protracted speech usually marked by intemperate, vituperative, or harshly censorious language is definition of tirade dres__ (dres@4.18.171.42) left irc: see ya colonel (arun@202.88.234.244) left irc: [x]chat now if they simply answered the question first then politely informed them that linux was merely a part of the collective system call GNU thus GNU/Linux that would be different now RMS does this fairly well actually (most of the time) yet when an accountant asks that question trying to explain that linux is only a kernel is overkill basically i have no problem saying GNU/Linux or asking others to but when that becomes the focus of your existence thats an issue to me i cant say i fully agree with all the agruments i think effort would be better served elsewhere i think people calling things open source vs free software is MUCH more damaging yes, but RMS is also about as anal there too after some tiem with RMS i will simply say i adore his steadfast positions on things and that it makes his character what did you call the system when you were wth him? i will also say we are all falliable and because he thinks something it doesnt always make it correct :) GNU-slash-linux? GNU Linux (i dont say the slash) he does neither do I i did call it Linux a few times and before he had chance to correct me i told him why i used linux vs gnu/linux and to piss off but then it sound like Linux is a GNU project you told him to piss off/ ? i also used term pirate on many occassions and often i would say 'yes i know pirate is a term you dont like, but i disagree' and then would sya my sentence hey man piss off chillywilly : not piss off eh but yes i know you dont like that, but i disagree and leave it at that it seemed to pacify him just stating 'i realize your position' but i will call it what i like why did you call it "linux"? because in the discussion it was not relevant to call it gnu linux imho we were speaking of device driver portions and i called him on his crap crap? ooooh he was talking about a GNU Device Driver home page er hardware GNU Hardware database i finally asked him well what are you doing compatiablity for? hurd, linux, bsd he said linux i said why not call it the Linux Hardware Database :) he didnt answer but wasnt happy at that suggestion haha but anyhow thats a moot point well that wouldn't work either because you are supporting other Free OSes the reason i think the whole thing is somewhat goofy is i think Linux could survive w/o GNU and GNU w/o Linux Free Hardware Database if linus was willing to make Linux say BSD he could find non gnu components (prop) to use with his kernel some day Linux wil be no more, but not a whole lot of ppl contribute to the Hurd that;s why it is so slow in development, that and Mach sucks GNU can and does run on non free kernels so i think one could say to have a GPL operating system one needs GNU and Linux anyhow i just got a bad taste in my mouth on this vigilence to call it GNU/Linux if you were at last show you would understand why it's the whole choosing the battles to fight issue :) jcater: well said :) mastachu i choose you! i think the issue was at the FSF booth i think in 3 days we heard 2 times someone mention an actual GNU program and the rest of the time was tirades on GNU/Linux naming or dont forget the GNU project made Linux possible amen it was awful when in reality if they would just state what GNU IS people wouldnt be able to DENY that GNU makes Linux great rather than say we have gcc, make, bison/flex, sed, bash etc etc etc etc tools you use everyday they choose to say, you are evil for not knowing GNU makes it all possible :) i will end my rant now :) I think you just went on a tirade no, I think that was a rant :) how many of you said anything to them though? yes definitely rant whatever or tirade you can choose :) i said something to RMS when he was here his response REALLY pissed me off what did he say then? he said 'i wasnt there, it wasnt me, i DONT do that' must ahve been some volunteer that didnt know anything i said um 'it was the VP of FSF' and felt like adding (and ive heard you do the same) to which he got agitated and said well dont tell me tell brad im not the middle man at which point i figured its hopeless btw: this is not meant to be a slam on brad i know they believe what they are doing is for the best and i think their goals are laudible but as jason well put, pick your battles wisely :) so talking to them is impossible I agree with him in that you should've said something to the ppl there as they feel they are tackling the 'important' issue chillywilly i disagree, i think it comes from the top down i think brad was reiterating the position of the FSF as evidenced by the giant yellow signs aaah, but you see does RMS really have any authority....I mena this is a democratic process RMS can't force them to do something my point was to talk to the 'head' and say is that really how you want to position yourself chillywilly i imagine its like an company if you arent doing what the head wants you to, you will have a short existence there :) whose structure I have problems with btw: maybe im just interpreting it poorly but i got impression jamest and jcater felt same way and lindsay who has NOTHING to do with free software, even commented that the dialog there was a bit 'brutal' IIRC BBC reported a slaughter of a group of men in Africa supposedly for helping the enemy well this sorting through email sucks very time consuming evan: I dunno..

Those people *won't* build from source. It's too much work. They really will need installshield or something like that. if its the only way i suppose thats ok jbailey: I agree yep, they need a stupid windows installer as not many people will need to but like me i hate installing cygwin why? um its a nut job whats the benefit to building the source on a windows box anyways.. GNU Forms Client that is dneighbo: There's theoretically a debian port to cygwin coming soon. =) you download the friggin program and click on it viola Mr_You its mandatory because its teh only way you can TEST on windows and fix windows specific issues reliably and efficiently dneighbo: benefit to the average user how is cygwin a nut job? um they get something works in windows :) cygwin makes windows POSIX complient Mr_You the average user will install via binary asside from "end users", we shouldn't assume that linux will be the only system used for development fuck the windows API BUT i dont want to create UNNECESSARY barriers to entry even for developers which is something cygwin dependency makes umm developers should be use to barries ;-) dneighbo: So does requiring a compiler. cygwin makes windows usable getting python is MUCH more simple than getting cygwin cygwin is not download an .exe and click it can't argue that one, I've never wanted python on windows. bah, cygwin ha sa stupid winblows installer dneighbo: yes it is. dneighbo: setup.exe, and off you go. jbailey: hmmm im a developer tha uses unix you select the packages and download and ustalls them and makes an icon it took me 4 days to get cygwin to install here with a T3 connection heh and it was not setup.exe and off you go you are cursed thogh how long ago? it took me half an hour to install on the upstairs machine um 2 weeks ago oover 56K and i still dont have lyx installed under it i gave up and am going with a vnc solution intead http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe somtimes I wonder about your geekiness masta chillywilly well i am just saying maybe im not 'cool' enough you need an X server for lyx but if cygwin would have been an 'entry' to gnue and i was a windows developer i would have walked before ever giving gnue a chance so what....use a Free OS :P if im the only one that feels this way, then by all means ignore me most windows developers are VB morons but i think jcater has a whole staff that develops on windows jamest/dneighbo: rock on! y'all seen http://www.wxwindows.org/wxuniv.htm and they dont appear to be vb morons to me dneighbo: I installed cygwin from that setup.exe 6 months ago. Whatever instructions you followed were old. I just downloaded the setup and clicked on it and it wasa all done hmm you didnt get ot 'pick' what packages you wanted? was pretty painless it asked me to select what i wanted to install i chose Action: Mr_You & and no matter which mirror i picked it got half done and puked on itself I really do believe you are cursed I got it to work with the default ovcer a 56k connection I haven't installed it in a while. I'm mostly responding to your statement that there wasn't a setup.exe for it. jcater interesting jbailey sorry there was a setup.exe just not clieck the setup.exe and viola you are done :) i guess my hangup is requiring cygwin for something that isnt platform specific like python for geas it wouldnt bother me wel you just had to input a few things and let it download and install....you gotta click buttons and crap with al windows setups as geas would need cygwin or some other compiler anyhow but i dont want to be a squeaky wheel if the rest of core team doesnt mind the cygwin environment as a mandatory for developers on windows i will shut up but the windows API is just that the windows API....it is not POSIX....why fo you think it is easier to port between *nixs because they all have similar POSIX APIs as i have to have cygwin cause other projects force it down my throat the only windows developer was that one guy who would come in here an bitch and complain um dont think so you like arguing don't you i think benno/rafterman were on windows no i dont sure you do all hail da masta I'm on windows thats why i said if the rest of the core doesnt mind, dont mind me :) I have to VNC to a linux box to do devel i just think its dangerous for us to become too focused on linux as i think the power of gnue currently is that its powerful and Xplatform we're not as using gnu tools gives us *nux protability for the most part *nix well, this touches on the issue that jamest had w/Solaris and I had on BSD we have to install a gnu system on those too :( You shouldn't have to install much of anything on other Unix systems, if it's written well.. it's a brave gnu world So we are having to go way out of our way to get that "portability" for geas? cool yes we should port it correctly I didn't know Watcom C/C++ was open-sourced all you should have to do is run configure for building form source then yes you need gnu tools chillywilly: Even building from source you shouldn't need GNU tools. With the newest autoconf/automake, you don't necessarily even need it to generate dependancies, etc. well I am not sure things are up to snuff that way fpr geas, but if they want things ported correctly then they need to be willing to test them gotta run - ttul! jbailey (jbailey@65.93.2.159) left irc: Client Exiting Action: jcater too... as much as I love our "discussions", I gotta run :) jcater (jason@w202.z065105010.mem-tn.dsl.cnc.net) left irc: home I thought that geas ran on BSD in fact reinhard helped port it and fixed the getopt issue I forget who was trying to get it to run on BSD bye bye dneighbo (dneighbo@mail.libertydistribution.com) left irc: [BX] The name's X.
