Yeah the bit about "Nasal Sex with Dead Plants" just makes one wonder, is a rose just a rose? (note to self, don't read RMS's diary again)

Uhhuh, have you people lost your sense o humour?
Did actually _anyone_ red the Texan history rms describes on his site?

I personally find the history (where rms was denied to continue his
lisp machine lectures given that absurd excuse he was commiting a nasal sex with dead plants) quite amusing...
But here you go, just care to read it before commenting.

Besides all i find rms diary rather interesting.

Has anyone ever asked why it is okay for RMS to suggest it is okay to invalidate another person/company license (BitKeeper is the example) yet

Im sure there is a link to a such his statement archived on the web. Google returns too much results to be useful, so id be rather delighted
if you provide me with en exact link to this his statement.

become offended when their own license is to desired to be invalidated?

Why is it that nothing but gpl can exist with gpl?

Why is that a superior option to license under which follows the original spirit of GPL but goes further to promote the ideas of open source is frowned upon?

Do yo mean rms reacted negatively to the existence of OSL? I`m interested in that.

Maybe it has something to do with self pollenation.
