>GPL uses the term "Free" in a twisted, marxist way. It's restrictive and, while done in good faith, completely burns bridges and appeal to people who'd otherwise be happy contributing upstream to some projects.

I am a Marxist. Go on?

(I have my own critique of the GPL - by its nature, it demands I conform to a liberal conception of freedom. I do not consider it a freedom to have corporate entities exploit my software for profit without compensating me.)


The argument is something like workers owning the means of production is akin to users having control of the source code. Which although maybe debatable, is not a slur in and of itself.


agreed


they use a shitty BSD clone called Open CVS


Or not.


yes they do


You do realize who Ted Unangst is, right?

If he says "we use GNU CVS" you might consider believing him.


You might consider cross-referencing the authors of commits to the LibreSSL project with the authors of comments in this thread. You might be surprised.


that's because CVS is shit and they should use git or mercurial.

and why should we trust an SSL tool that uses COMIC SANS on thier website. these LibReSSL dudes sound like idiot hipsters


"these LibReSSL dudes sound like idiot hipsters"

No, they're just poking fun at people like you :D


"This page scientifically designed to annoy web hipsters."


Hint: they are mocking you.


Honestly, if you're using windows (which, AFAIK, is the only OS that includes Comic Sans), why the are you complaining about being unable to trust security software from a certain provider?
