RMS says "I'll meet you if you change your name" and some of us seem to fall all over ourselves organizing a way to do it. Please excuse me if I do not feel this worthy of much respect. Will we be removing the 'GNU' if we get an offer from Linus later on? Can we add other prefixes if the person requesting them is really, really respected by most people on the list? I respect your devotion to RMS and his contribution to the world of free software. Where is your respect for people who do not agree with you on this topic, and on this list? Out the window, it seems, in a rush to slap the GNU label on the whole group. >> 1) Hasn't decided that GPL and LGPL are the "one, no, two true >> licenses", so much so that they incorporate it into their name. >What part of the proposal has anything to do with GPL or LGPL? Please forgive me. I am sure I am the only person in the universe that will recognize any association between GNU and those licenses. >> 2) Isn't so obviously and hopelessly devoted to one mans cult >> of personality. >Again, there is no proposal (to my knowledge) to change the name to >"RMS's friends" or its ilk. Again, RMS says jump. So, now we organize a vote for "how high". That may not be the way we all see this, but that is how it looks to me. *shrug* My 2 (or more) cents.
