   @fontana Finally got around to reading it. Saying "[This is GPL, don't ask us for source]" is a non sequiteur. Is that even distributable?

     @fontana linked to !Linux WHENCE file; he calls it #suboptimal; I call it #disturbing. I puked in my mouth a bit when reading: ur1.ca/2bhjz

     @fontana, How about: "The following license notices may be troubling to hard-core software freedom zealots. Viewer discretion is advised."

     @fontana Just got me thinking: If binary is GPL and there is no source, am I free to decompile it?

     @bkuhn was disturbing a typo? I thought you meant disgusting ;-)

     @lxoliva, it was both #disturbing & #disgusting. I figured mentioning nearly puking covered the disgusting part all by itself. #Linux WHENCE
