GPL sucks

Name: Anonymous 2012-05-05 3:54

I want to use BigNums, but GMP is infected with GNU virus. Matt McCutchen's lib is good, but it has only BigInts. What library will /prog/ advise?

GMP uses LGPL, which can be used in derivative works with no catch.

That's nice. I've never paid attention to licensing details, thanks for information.
As I can see GMP has no complex number support. Is there any extension for it?

GPL is not free. It restricts the freedom of closing derivative's code.

The point is about control, should the user have control over the or the developer? Developers should not control other people's computers.

Use it anyway. No one will ever know or care, except some smelly Linux users.

It also restricts the freedom of opening derivative's code.

For open source software, most of the developers are also users, and users are encouraged to become developers. GPL promises people freedom, and then enslaves them when they decide they want to actually modify the "free" software.

Rip it out of CPython. Their license is even more free than BSD (it seems that you are required to mention it in the source that you took that part from there, that's all) and their low-level C code is top-notch in terms of performance.

Please don't conflate conveyancing of software with operating a software system; distributing software is distinct to using software. The GPL promises users the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software; all these things are permitted in th GPL. The GPL gives unlimited rights to modify free software.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stallman
he launched the GNU Project and founded the Free Software Foundation.
Both his parents, Daniel Stallman and Alice Lippman, are Jewish. The goal of FSF has always been to artificially force software prices down so that more computer programmers will lose their job. The Jews are scared of the technological advances in Europe and are desperate to slow it down by sabotage Together with Bill Gates, Stallman advocates Earth depopulation: "It's clear that other problems, such as overpopulation and damage to the environment, are much bigger than non-free software."

Born to a communist Jewish family of emigrants from Sweden. Named after another Jew - Linus Pauling.

This is non-sequitur.

This is true but has no relevance on anything.

Why do you need BigNum Complex arithmetic? Are you doing quantum physics?

IEEE754 64-bit floating point is good enough. There are certain techniques you can do to increase accuracy over large accumulations/summations, plus merged multiply-addition pipelines on modern hardware.

This is just stupid, if it is always "good enough" why do other schemes exist then?

Guy, who created this site, is completely retarded or just evil. Religions, like Islam and Christianity, propagate by demographic conquest. The less atheists breed, the more there will be followers of abrahamic religions. I.e. situation will even worsen.

Reason given: The world needs more of us or we’ll be outnumbered.
Real reason: Elitism. Xenophobia. Eugenics easier to conceal than genocide.
Suggested alternative: Convert others to your views so there’ll be one more of your kind and one less of Them.

Try converting muslims or chabad yids to your view.

How about closing your fucking borders and only allowing 'enlightened' ones to immigrate?  Screening is not necessarily racist, you know.  If their way of life is inconsistent, their isolated homogeneous society will crumble and they'll just die.

All you managed to prove is that some theists (not all) are retarded.  If you don't understand this, then perhaps your goyish brain is too weak to master basic logic -- shotgun mouthwash is advised.
