Before anyone makes a move .. I would like to mention that these are released under the terms of the GPL V3.0

FP is just another tool in a programmer's tool box. If you tend to think imperatively, and want total control over data structures and access time, then either an imperative language will be a more appropriate tool for your problem.
Or you fall into the description of the article where it is hard to break out of the imperative thinking process to be able to effectively use FP languages. There just might be another way to solve your problem without using doubly linked lists.

indeed .. but thats what I called them for a lack of a better term. I can't remember what the proper term is for a variable in a functional language.
If you read joe Armstrong's book on programming erlang, I believe he uses the term "variable" since it is what most programmers are used to.

indeed .. thats why functional languages are useful. The claim made in the article is that this is merely and exaggeration:

If you can get passed the idea that you only have immutable variables, you can do pretty much anything you usually do in other sequential languages. The algorithms are identical at an abstract level.
If however your algorithms are more concrete and you tend to think about variables when developing them, you are in for a hard time.

With functional programming languages make a rather restrictive assumption, and that is all variables are immutable.
This is why functional programs are more suited for concurrency, and this is why your sequential algorithms will fail to work.

so where do we send our bank account information this time to get 10,000,000$? They tell me that the 3rd one is a charm.

to point out that im the anonymous coward from last post?

Would a whole community get away with plagiarism is basically my question.

I get your point .. but the thing about software, is that it can be imitated and modified to seem different. Regardless, If each line was copied by a member in the community ...who do you sue? and how do you collect?

If I have 2 terminals open next to each other, and personally type GPL source code line by line making changes as I see fit (mostly renaming variables), can I redistribute my copy using a different license?
