We are just plain tired of being lectured to by a man |
| |
who is a lot like |
| |
<a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/08/campbell_grounded/">Naomi Campbell</a>. |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
In 1998 when a United Airlines plane was waiting in the queue at |
| |
Chicago Airport for take-off to New Orleans (where a Usenix |
| |
conference was taking place), one man stood up from his seat, |
| |
demanded that they stop waiting in the queue and be permitted |
| |
to deplane. Even after orders from the crew and a pilot from |
| |
the cockpit he refused to sit down. The plane exited the queue |
| |
and returned to the airport gangway. Security personal ran onto |
| |
the plane and removed this man, Richard Stallman, from the plane. |
| |
After Richard was removed from the plane, everyone else stayed |
| |
onboard and continued their journey to New Orleans. A few |
| |
OpenBSD developers were on that same plane, seated very closeby, |
| |
so we have an accurate story of the events. |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
This is the man who presumes that he should preach to us |
| |
about morality, freedom, and what is best for us. He believes |
| |
it is his God-given role to tell us what is best for us, when he |
| |
has shown that he takes actions which are not best for everyone. |
| |
He prefers actions which he thinks are best for him -- and him |
| |
alone -- and then lies to the public. Richard Stallman is no Spock. |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
We release our software in ways that are maximally free. We |
| |
remove all restrictions on use and distribution, but leave a |
| |
requirement to be known as the authors. We follow a pattern of |
| |
free source code distribution that started in the mid-1980's |
| |
in Berkeley, from before Richard Stallman had any powerful |
| |
influence which he could use so falsely. |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
We have a development sub-tree called "ports". Our "ports" tree |
| |
builds software that is 'found on the net' into packages that |
| |
OpenBSD users can use more easily. A scaffold of Makefiles and |
| |
scripts automatically fetch these pieces of software, apply |
| |
patches as required by OpenBSD, and then build them into nice |
| |
neat little tarballs. This is provided as a convenience for |
| |
users. The ports tree is maintained by OpenBSD entirely seperately |
| |
from our main source tree. Some of the software which is fetched |
| |
and compiled is not as free as we would like, but what can we do. |
| |
All the other operating system projects make exactly the same |
| |
decision, and provide these same conveniences to their users. |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
Richard felt that this "ports tree" of ours made OpenBSD non-free. |
| |
He came to our mailing lists and lectured to us specifically, yet |
| |
he said nothing to the many other vendors who do the same; many of |
| |
them donate to the FSF and perhaps that has something to do with it. |
| |
Meanwhile, Richard has personally made sure that all the official |
| |
GNU software -- including Emacs -- compiles and runs on Windows. |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
That man is a false leader. He is a hypocrite. There may be some |
| |
people who listen to him. But we don't listen to people who do not |
| |
follow their own stupid rules. |

Puffy and the mighty Cryptonauts<br> |
| |
Trading with new lands by open C<br> |
| |
Corporate monsters, many closing passages<br> |
| |
Tempting harpies<br> |
| |
13 years of treachery<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
Journey's over, welcome home the heroes<br> |
| |
Offering the bounty of their trade<br> |
| |
Useful clothing spun from the golden fleece<br> |
| |
For the people, free and very strongly made<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
But something's wrong with them<br> |
| |
They will not take our free wares<br> |
| |
"What's the matter good people?<br> |
| |
Why are you so scared?"<br> |
| |
Why?<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
Then one brave soul spoke out<br> |
| |
"We're not allowed to take your gifts<br> |
| |
Hipocrites has spoken<br> |
| |
There are many new laws"<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
Hipocrites appears<br> |
| |
"Puffy!<br> |
| |
You must obey my new rules!"<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
"First rule one dictates<br> |
| |
You cannot give your code away"<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
(In Greek) To your health, Nick, great bouzouki player and cool dude.<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
"And rule two dictates<br> |
| |
You must give it to me<br> |
| |
So I can give it away properly for free"<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
"The list goes on of course<br> |
| |
But for traders this is all you need"<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
"This is madness!<br> |
| |
He has lost his mind!<br> |
| |
This defies the first law of free trade<br> |
| |
Rule zero came before this rule one<br> |
| |
Freedom means you cannot dictate to anyone"<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
<br> |
| |
Then Hypocrites goes mad.<br> |
| |
