Re: Ruby license makes it unuseable ! ! [troll alert]

The user 'vcharlie@mindspring.com' is an established troll.

I would suggest not posting any responses to the obviously inflammatory
original message.

If one does a Google groups search on this particular email address,
vcharlie@mindspring.com, you will find newsgroup postings such as the
following:

the original post regarding ruby''s license is clearly a trolls post (i never
heard anyone complaining about artistic and bsd licenses...),
but i disqualify him not because of following posting:

this is certainly not expressed as political correct, as it should, but he
has a point.
this is surely a reaction on the stop of funding by darpa.
not every american is a fascist, but the government falls into this category
(as does italian government, btw).

*bzzzt* Wrong!

Look at the subject. Then look at the date.

That post has nothing to do with DARPA pulling OpenBSD''s funding.

hell, this is clearly a case in which one should investigate first, post
later.
than, this is only an unmotivated policical incorrect criticism on
us-foreign politics.

i meant complaining, that they cannot use something with this license.
well, they do also complain, but still use it (see e.g.: perl, used by rms).

1) This is flambait.
2) I don''t like it when people use the word religious the way you just
did. The word religious does not mean "dogmatic" or anything of the
sort.
