No, they used the license rescinding threat to extort the Linux Foundation 
into their Soviet Union organization.

From the article...

~~
The controversy
Activists from the feminist and LGBTQIA+ communities have been trying to 
force the Linux project to join the Contributor Covenant since at least 
2015. The Contributor Covenant is an agreement to implement a special Code 
of Conduct (frequently CoC from now on) aimed at changing the predominantly 
white, straight, and male face of programming. CC’s Code of Conduct is 
controversial particularly because it allows anyone to be banned from 
contributing code for any reason, usually with no mechanism for oversight or 
accountability.
~~

Maybe it's time to look into BSD. I didn't realize that LGBT had ballooned 
into LGBTQIA+ ... What, next week LGBTQIAWTF? Why don't the just use 
"Confused" and leave it that.

Did Linux just adopt a code of conduct which helps LGBT fascists to 
defame decent coders?

Why exactly would they do that?

The open source model in and of itself is an extreme socialistic model. It
assumes everyone can work together for a common good with each person
contributing what they can to the cause and making the results open to
anyone who would want to use those results.

The problem is, this model fails for several reasons.

1. There is no incentive to innovate because there is no compensation.
Everyone is an equal so the hanger on type folks reap the benefits of those
performing the innovation. This model works great at the hobbyist level but
falls apart when the product has the potential of becoming a competitor.

2. Corporations are free to make huge amounts of money while those doing
the work get an honorable mention in some credits.txt file that literally
nobody will ever read.
At some point it's inevitable that the suckers will wake up and realize
they have been hoodwinked and they will move on to positions where they get
paid what they are worth.

Pretty much... but not forced, as is the case with a socialist society.

It is why you see a LOT of copying in the open source world, and where 
there is innovation it is OFTEN done half-way. Then MS or Apple or 
others take those ideas and make them fit in better and more complete... 
and then the open source folks insist Apple or MS or the like did 
nothing. :)

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They 
cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel 
somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

It's the current social fashion that's sweeping all corps

No one has the balls to stand up and resist.

I'm glad that you're resisting it as well. If the developers pull their 
code, what's your next move?

Well, the FOSS community, thank God, is not susceptible to a lot of
the pressures that can influence for-profit companies.  Let's hope
that common sense prevails.

I'm no lawyer, but I don't see how anyone can "pull their code", once
it's been released under the GPL.  The license is pretty clear.

They don't have to pull code, they just can close source it, in new
version...

Well, I think that you are correct.  So why did the linked-to article
have all sorts of FUD about "pulling" code, and "revoking" or
"rescinding" the GPL?

As far as I know, developers can choose to "resign from the team", and
that's it.

And this supposedly "fair and balanced" article reduced Richard
Stallman's response to the single word "misguided"?  Really?  That one
word adequately summarizes his response?

I think that this is not big fuss as some want to present...

Modern day Soviet Union or Red China. Sooner or later this extortion and 
blackmail is going to backfire on them big time. But it won't be from the 
spineless Republican Party, that's for sure.

Meanwhile Russia and China will leap far ahead of the United States in 
technology.

Won't happen in a million years.  Contributing to the Linux kernel is 
the most important and rewarding thing these devs do.  Not a chance 
they'll rescind their code and leave.



 > Good!  Great!  Let those fucking queers know who is the boss!


The kernel project - making a good piece of software - is the boss.

Torvalds got in the way of this by being a monstrous prick from time to 
time.

How do you think a kernel contributor feels when Torvalds himself rants 
and raves and curses and insults 10x over a tiny patch he doesn't 
consider 'perfect'?

https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/28/215

It's ridiculous behavior... not nearly as shitty as what you did when 
you butted your nasty ass into one of my threads, but still totally 
uncalled for.

About the only change that will occur is Linus Torvalds and the other 
kernel devs will play a little nicer with each other.  But I bet they 
were plenty nice before, too.

Why wouldn't you already have a copy?  I thought you compiled your

Activists from the feminist and LGBTQIA+ communities have been trying to force the Linux project to join the Contributor Covenant since at least 2015. 

It is just a bunch of LGBTQIA insane people.

What is fr31 smoking?

In Moi's universe, illegal copies of Hollywood movies are being circulated all over the place.  Illegal copies of Hollywood movies are available on Youtube.

I shall leave this nonsense up to my Linux DE distro.  One way or the other, there wont be an interruption in service, Paco.

Half the stuff that my Linux DE is doing, is illegal anyways.  What is one more white lie?
