Oh the reminds me I need to stop by the market later, and pick up some Nightshade. You know nothing else tastes as good in salads. And it is all natural!!

How does this negate the parent?

I assume that he is a GPLv2 troll, since Linus does not like GPLv3.

I actually like Gentoo's emerge as a package management system better then Debian's apt. They both have dependency resolution, however, if you decide that at some later date you wish to remove something Gentoo is clearly the winner. There is no way to remove unused dependencies in apt, Gentoo has emerge -P.

  I use Ubuntu in any environment where I need it to be very stable and I use Gentoo where I want a smaller footprint and more speed.

I would actually be perfectly happy with a situation like this. This was as far as I can understand the original purpose of the gpl before people started going crazy and getting greedy. People wanted to be able to fix software that was created and then abandoned. With the source being closed the only way to fix a closed chunk of software would be to totally recreate the software using best guess as to what it was doing and how.

If a manufacture no longer wishes to support something, this is the best solution imo. OSS can never truly become abandoned, if I find some software that I like and it is no longer supported.

I am free:
--take the software
--update the libraries
--fix any bugs
--share (maybe start a project so other people can make fixes)
--???
--profit.

That is what the gpl meant to me before people got greedy, before people started to worship, before it became a religion...

The reason that no one noticed was, because fanatics of the series where not expecting even the announcement that there is another book incoming for another 2-3 years.
