Utility I wrote for GNU+Linux

Name: Anonymous 2012-02-13 3:19

It's a small utility like cat or sed that can be used on Linux systems. It's called why. Licensed under the GPLv3 (or later).

Here is the code (save it in `why.c'):
#include <stdio.h>

void main()
{printf("Fuck you, that's why.\n");

}

Install with:
gcc -o why why.c ;sudo cp ./why /bin/why

i think the newline is superfluous and so i'll probably wait for why 2.0  before installing a pirated copy of it.  yeah i know its GPL, but i just gotta be me…

The newline is actually a workaround for the infamous (and unpatched) bash put-the-prompt-on-the-same-line-as-the-last-outputted-line-of-the-last-command bug.

What do you mean by `pirate'? Are you going to buy a copy from seafaring murderous thugs? Why would you do that? That attitude hurts all of the Free Software Movement.

/bin/why
/bin is deprecated, please use /usr/bin instead.

Referring to fedora and freedesktop! Oh my! And why not Lennart while you're at it?

Lennart says nothing about /bin

considering why is not managed by your package manager, the appropriate location for the why binary is /usr/local/bin

There's no undefined behavior here, since the language obviously isn't C.

Doesn't compile under CLISP. That means it's shit.

Licensed under the GPLv3 (or later).
I can't wait for this version to have seventeen flags that do nothing related to the program. Meanwhile the MIT/BSD version remains pure, which leads to people bitching that it ``isn't as good''.

You are right, that looks terrible. I actually wrote this to act as a shell for people that tried to SSH into the 4chan FTP server that I was running, where it would simply display random shit in random colors. I wanted to see just how convoluted I could get it. Obviously, that block didn't work, so I moved on to the next trivial bit and tried to fuck around with it. I didn't intend, when writing, for it to ever be used in such a critical tool as why. I hope that some real hacker* can someday fix it up nicer.

Without a name (or pseudonym) attached to that work, there is no effective reason why there should be a copyright attached to it. If you publish your own work and you're anonymous, that work is nothing less than public domain work.
