Actually I did not wanted to participate in that kind of political discussion,
since
I usually give a %$ยง$% on what others have to say. I usually tend to just
ignore such
stuff, and go on. I actually don't care whether GNUstep is
hosted by the FSF, or on the moon. Same way I don't care what kind of
statements their leader blasts
out into the air. Maybe I'm not pissed because I never used a NeXT or MAC,
or I'm not that much of a friend of Apple or don't know Steve personally nor
I'm that fond in history.
I even don't care that GNUstep is not licensed under my preferred license.
GPL, whatever version, definitely is not.
What I care is, I cannot really explain why, maybe its just because of the nice
people
behind GNUstep, I meet at FOSDEM, and here on the list, is, I kinda like
GNUstep.
And I'd be really pissed, if people stop contributing to it, just because
someone is talking
a lot of nonsense...
Maybe I'm kind of hardened, as OpenBSD developer. Whenever I'd take it serious,
when Theo shouts at someone
I kinda like, or has other random statements to say I don't like, then I'd
probably be totally depressed.
The project is code, and code is the project, not political discussions.
I don't contribute much, in size of code and so on, but I test, and report
back, especially with all my OpenBSD related problems I run into ;)
For me its fun to contribute to GNUstep, and I just don't stop to have fun,
because just someone
random has to say some nonsense.
I hope the fun to work on GNUstep, to make it better day by day, is more
important
to everyone, not just me, so that lets call it not politically correct
statements of a
single person can subvert it.
just my 2 cents. hope my English is good enough to get what I mean.
cheers,
Sebastian
