I'm Getting Sick Of The GNU People On Identi.ca

Sat, 2010-01-16 23:00 — ThistleWeb

I've noticed recently arguments continue to pop up on Identi.ca around the GNU / FSF with their supporters who seem to try to force people to call Linux "GNU Linux" and can't see the hypocritical stance they're taking. Before I begin, let me point out that I broadly agree with the goals of the FSF, I believe the GPL licence is brilliant, I choose and advocate the use of free software when it's up to the task and therefore a viable option. I'm just getting sick of the same argument over and over again.
