Don't even get me started on smoothwall
too late..
Smoothwall is GPL'ed. They (Richard fscking moral) tried to take out of
GPL,
but couldn't find a way to do so. This was about the time he fell out
with
RMS and linus.. oh and about a year later got kicked out of valinux..
As did quite a lot of people.
From then, Smoothwall kinda deteriorated. Oh, and while I'm at it, I don't
like
his company Research Machines and the total crap they overcharge to
primary
schools.
I doubt Richard Morrell has anything to do with Research Machines - if he does/did, I doubt he had anything to do with any charge rates to primary schools. Or are you just mistakenly associating the initials with each other? Or are you also being sarcastic?
hmm, I did have a lot more to say, but most of it was personal attacks against richard moral. so I'll drop it now.
Hmmm ... Can I take this opportunity here to state that Richard has dealt with FSF and FSFE (and is still dealing with FSF today) wrt a variety of challenges and complaints laid towards us, and in all respects we have very quickly cleared up any issues, or have been shown to be compliant with GPL ... I fail to see what further attacks and insults can do to forward any SmoothWall / free software / FSFE discussion on anything resembling a professional level ...
