Ma Darren... sta male nel cervello?

Secondo me Darren ci guadagna in qualche modo molti soldi con ipfilter
e si rifiuta per questo di rendere tutto GPL ( una supposizione senza alcun
fondamento naturalmente ) .

Se non e' cosi' allora ha qualche serio problema al cervello...

Q.
Why don't you make IPFilter open-source ?

A.
Firstly, I've never cared for the term "open source" - to me it's a
product of marketting in order to build a
bucket to throw freely distributed source code into. 10 years ago
people were distributing source code freely
and without anyone calling it "open source". To those of you that
have the words "open source" tatoo'd on your
soul (or elsewhere), good luck to you, just don't bother me with
your religion. Hmm, has anyone yet likened
"open source" zealots with door knocking bible bashers? O:)

Back to the question.

If the open source community had ever given me back something that
made me think giving it to the open source
community would be valuable, I might consider it.

In the time IPFilter has existed there has been but a trickle of
anything from the Internet community and that
was *before* this licence bullshit. Maybe it suffers from the same
fate as the FWTK - easily used by people
with half a clue to make $$ and who care nothing for the original
author. This problem is recognised by some
people (namely Linus) and they see GPL as an answer to that.
