| You disgust my you swine! How dare you insult a brilliant man like RMS? Free software is very much a reality and just GPLing a piece of software solves all the problems with use and helps us get by the encumbrances of negotiating contracts and restrictions like the locked up source and DRM and treacherous computing. Do you want to live in a world where the unyielding and the indifferent supersede the benevolent? In a world where it is wrong to help your neighbour and when you do it is piracy? |
| Its not a reality ... ( 7 months ago by PietroBaroni) |
| Its not a reality cos only mongoloids like you lot belive in this. 99% of the advanced world don't know anything about free software, for one reason, its BullSshit. The 1% that know, and believe in this rubbish are little poosticks like you people that don't enjoy the finer things in life. If you want to go live a cheap/fake life by copying all the trendsetters, go for it. Niggz out |

| BTW. Just to correct you, it's not Creative Commons that he predicted, it is GFDL (GNU Free Documentation Licence). It's used as a licence that covers all the text on Wikipedia (as well as many ilustrations/photos). |

| Thanks for the clarification. |
| It's not that ... ( 3 months ago by someman7) |
| It's not that you're that off either. The main for some forms of CC licenses are pretty much the same. But GFDL is older, and Stallman criticized some of the forms of CC. Thx for the vid. |

| And how long before someone will try to manipulate the free software movement to their benefit? |
| Free software is ... ( 2 months ago by csev) |
| Free software is not about "no one benefiting" (sorry for the double negative) - the key is that the GPL license and similar mechanisms insure that the social good is maintained for the long term while allowing many to profit/benefit form the intellectual property in the short to medium term. |
| I didn't explain ... ( 2 months ago by szlamx) |
| I didn't explain what i ment properly. I will give you an example - the Wikipedia - there can be (and there are!) attempts to block the editing of certain articles because of strong political opinions - a group of people - well organized and determined can try to bend a definition to their liking - it has happened. Other actions may include over protective and enslaving governments embracing free software as an excuse for increasing taxation and extending their enslaving grip on the society. |

| Forget proprietary software. Yes it is possible, and has already happened to the Polish segment of the Wikipedia. To some articles at least. |
