     @danthux I am really fed up with this kind of ad hominem attacks. Maybe #RMS should consider his words more wisely

     @ovidius #RMS is pretty bad as a diplomatic, altough he's a visionary indeed. I hope people can understand the message by above the way !fsf

     @danthux Sad that the FSF has to take their discourse to the level of inane personal attacks. #RMS

     @lefty wasn't the !FSF but #RMS. You need to understand the history of the situation to intepret his message. check http://ur1.ca/chk5 !gnu

     @danthux I don't see how you can tell. Did #RMS say that was his own opinion, rather than that of the !FSF ?

     @lefty the facts state that Microsoft is still a threat to free software. Convince us that there is no threat instead of picking on rms !fsf

     @lefty #RMS was responding his opinion to someone's question about #mdi being in codeplex. you should know the argue and history behind this

     @danthux Despite misperceptions to the contrary, we're not at war here. No one swore a loyalty oath to the "free software movement".

     @smaffulli Your answer is to divide the community with free-floating name-calling? That shows an inability to argue the issue on its merits.

     @danthux @lefty If @codeplex_f is successful at acquainting more people w/ foss, then that's + for the movement. Traitor or Evangelist?

     @danthux You're using an "article" from BoycottNovell to support your argument? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

     @lefty I asked #mono proponents to show why we should trust Microsoft not to threat our community with patents. No answer yet

   • David "Lefty" Schlesinger Stefano Maffulli

     @smaffulli Simple answer: if you live outside the US, those patents probably aren't enforceable. In any case, there's no s/w w/o patent risk

   • Stefano Maffulli David "Lefty" Schlesinger

     @lefty all sw has patent risk, but patents owned by Microsoft are worse because of its history. EU has swpats too. Me not comfortable enough

   • David "Lefty" Schlesinger Stefano Maffulli

     @smaffulli Well, don't use Mono, then, that's your right. Just stop insisting that everyone else be "free" the way you tell them to.

   • Stefano Maffulli David "Lefty" Schlesinger

     @lefty don't get me wrong: I don't 'insist': I stated my opinion, just like RMS did. For me the issue is closed until MS makes a U turn

   • Carlo Piana David "Lefty" Schlesinger

     @lefty that is hardly a reassurance, isn't it? Plus the "probably" part seems too optimistic. No patent-free zone in Europe (yet)

     @smaffulli It makes me wonder why people are still talking (and talking and talking) about it, that being the case...
