Comment Re:Vs GPL (Score 1) 418
A voice of reason in the /. crowds desire to hate Microsoft.
It is clear that Microsoft has been working to solve this, but TD.Net wants no part of it. Also, following threads in blog comments and forums you do see that TC.Net resorted to hacking VS Express to get his addin to load. The claim the software was hackable is weak - all software is hackable.
I don't care if you like the EULA or not - it is a license to use the software, no different than the GPL. Those who call for a "right to ignore" are calling for an end to GPL protection. Don't want to release your changes? No problem, just ignore the EULA - even when the EULA is the GPL.
