   ROTFL!

   Tom, I don't know what in the hell you're smoking,

Nor I you. BitMover buddied up to the kernel project, obtained
license-based leverage, and is now actively using that leverage to
work against people seeking to displace BK in the free software
community. The community has been maliciously hacked.

It could have been much worse and next time it probably will be. The
full implications of the BK license in particular haven't played out
yet -- it may turn out to be even worse than we've seen so far.

   but if you *really* think that BitMover has put the free software
   community in crisis, try stepping away from the computer and try
   making some macrame potholders for a while.

Who needs potholders when you have a big bin of kitchen towels and
cool-grips on all your pots and pans? I don't like to spend time
working on technology that doesn't make sense.
