schestowitzOct 08 21:57
schestowitz[21:34] <memecake> ah damn..Oct 08 21:57
schestowitz[21:36] <memecake> that thread is pretty overwhelming, and then there's this whole back and forth between all those blogs about whether RMS is right or not.. I frankly don't care.. I disagree with the entire FS paradigm, and just that alone changes everything let alone disagreements on specifics..Oct 08 21:57
schestowitz[21:38] <memecake> there are so many subtleties that some people seem to miss.. one example.. "Apple is not a technology company. It is an integrator with a well known brand." - an integrator, exactly right, all innovation is effectively just that, integration of existing componentsOct 08 21:57
schestowitz[21:39] <memecake> I don't have to re-invent music and all of its elements to be a great musician, and the fact that I built on and used what already existed is not some kind of an indictmentOct 08 21:57
schestowitz[21:40] <memecake> anyway it could go on and on and on.. (I don't post this in #techrights cause I don't want to disrupt the conversation there, I don't really belong in it anyway)Oct 08 21:57
schestowitz[21:56] <schestowitz> fair enough, memecakeOct 08 21:57
