Yes, I use Gentoo. So? I dont see any problem. I embraced my Gentoo distro long ago and I am happy together with my workstation (that is a stage 1 box!). I have a fucking lot of ebuilds in and outside of portage and my CFLAGS are pretty optimized and solid.
But thanks anyway asshole. Go and use your stupid Debian while I EMERGE new ebuilds.

Freedom is not free, only GNU ensures that both you AND your users have Software Freedom.
BSD ensures I can do whatever I want with my code and if I give my users the code, they can do whatever they want with it. How is this not free all round?

Look, you can't have freedom unless you are willing to grant other people freedom. BSD-style licences do not grant other people freedom since they can't ensure they will themselves be able to grant the same freedoms. Only the GPL can enforce the necessary freedom.

hahaha oh wow

Viral licenses are not free. GPL exists just to make RMS' e-penis larger every time somebody is forced to use it. Lol freedom.
BSD is free as in "free". Both libre and gratis.
>>72 The only freedom the GPL prohibits is the freedom of taking away the freedom of other people.
Profiting from free software does not take away any freedom.
I can see how that would upset an amerikan.
I'm European.

People like you make me waste so much time. Go back to your tree house you long haired, LSD taking hippie.

This is wrong and false in so many ways. Hippy.

That answer doesn't address the argument you quoted.

You're just insulting him instead of replying.

No, you are the one who is wrong. See the pattern? Saying that the other one is wrong is not a good way to make a point.
Congratulations, you have not refuted anything or made any point.

How does BSD allow you to take the freedom away of others? If what you want is a commie license that forces others to be commies too, then it's not exactly freedom - it's forcefully open source free of charge non-free software.
Regarding the long haired, LSD taking hippie: I already said what I wanted to - he may have all the time in the world to waste compiling shit and going VROOM VROOOM, but I'd rather download executable files from trusted sources which depend on standard libraries (which, if necessary, I can download in executable form too). This way I can download, test, and dump or adopt in 2 minutes instead of 20, having to fix all the shit that won't compile and waiting for a 1 MB shell script to run for 5 minutes doing shit. Lol freedom!!!! I like open sauce, but I don't like to deal with the sauce if I'm not cooking pizza at the moment.

Finally, regarding freedom: who said you need others to have freedom to have yours? This is completely illogical. On top of that, how does this relate to BSD or GPL? It's not like BSD doesn't allow others to be free. In fact, it allows others to be freer than GPL does - because they can do more things.
RMS is just a whiny hippy who wants to see everybody's sauce just because, and wants to force his (rather twisted) view of freedom on everybody else, which shows it's not true freedom as it's made of forced and viral.
Just quit whining. If you want to make something free, then it's fucking free. Public domain is the true freedom: absolutely no restrictions. BSD is a honourable public domain (PD with credits). Viral licenses can't possibly be freer than this because they force something onto you - for whatever the reason, but they force shit, therefore they're not free.
