Stokesay Castle in Ludlow is the best-preserved fortified medieval manor house in England.

Built in the 13th Century AD, its magnificent great hall is unchanged for more than 700 years.

@bonifartius No, you may not; "The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns."

Any possible "GPLv4" published by a Proprietary Software Foundation is not from the FSF, thus it would be invalid.

A weak license would not be "similar in spirit" and therefore would be invalid also.

i had some pretty good friends in my childhood and teens, but they all kind of went on to live their lives.

like i wrote, i have made some nice acquaintances in the last years, but they aren't friends i'd trust. i have family, but people related to you aren't the same as friends and some of them i wouldn't really trust as well.

i can't really say i can imagine how it is in a country like yours. i already have trust issues in my country.

i wholeheartedly agree to being polite and friendly to others. it's much nicer for everyone, including one's own mood!

@louis @freemo life starts at inception. that many fetuses die in the first weeks doesn't change this.

i don't think violence solves anything, it just shifts problems.

@iron_bug i still believe the example license header used by everyone allows for this scenario. the part i quoted specifically says "as published by the Free Software Foundation", so anyone who wants to do this needs to control the FSF.

after all, things are a conspiracy theory until they become reality :P

> And the inverse holds true as well. Men's voices carry more weight when it comes to men's issues, such as the legality and ease of access to Viagra.

access to viagra isn't killing small humans.

@begsby it does. GPL doesn't limit how things are used given the sources are supplied to the users. it's perfectly fine to put something using GPL software into a nuke.

they want RMS gone to skinwalk the FSF because of the standard license header allowing for use of later versions:

> This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

they can just take any permissive garbage license, call it GPLv4 and do what they like.

@SuperDicq
my take is that they regard RMS as progressive heretic, not someone of completely different faith.

true belivers hate those who threaten their cults most, as it shows things for how they are, a cult.

someone who is of a completely different faith just is 100% evil or hasn't seen the light, both of which are pretty easy to justify to yourself.

Women spent most of the 20th century convincing everyone that they DON'T secretly want to get raped.

Then they spent most of the 21st century voting to import people who think that they do...
