I am trying to repeat myself as little as possible and only to post when there is new information to mention. However, it seems as if a certain number of people will always ignore one's previous postings and then assert that you're hand-waving if you don't repeat earlier arguments.
Maybe hate was the wrong word, 'disagree' with. I don't know why you saw my message as a flame, it's simply stating a fact... If I'm wrong, and there is some points you agree with in the xGPL licenses, feel free to say so! :)
Well, it's hard to talk about "agreeing with" or "disagreeing with" a license, since it is not a statement but rather a contract. I certainly do disagree with Stallman's "philosophy" and goals, as you know.
I also believe that the FSF's licenses are unconscionable and hopefully legally unenforceable. It did quite surprise me when Jeremy claimed that the X11/BSD license was "murky," when the BSD license has been tested in court. The FSF licenses never have, there's much more controversy over what they mean, and they seem to be on quite weak ground legally (as I've explained earlier).
