Not being privy to -core either, I am wondering about the apparently
hypocritical stance being taken on this issue.
I'm not sure if you caught the last few mails, but as stated, opinions posted on
the Planet/Blog/Bathroom Stall are simply _opinions_ of individual entities.
They are _not_ opinions of the entire organization, no matter how many opinions
for or against there may be.
As such, the following events can be expected to occur:
1) Software will _not_ be removed from the tree simply because
it is made by a company who just so happens to favour
software patents.
2) This pointless debate will eventually die, because if it doesn't
I'm going to start quoting select excerpts from Vogon Poetry.
3) If the Vogon Poetry fails, I'll start reading excerpts from
Grunthos the Flatulent's "Ode To A Small Lump Of Green Putty
I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning".
4) If that happens to fail, which it shouldn't, I'll be forced to
depths I haven't visited in quite a long time: Poetry from
Paul Neil Milne Johnstone.
5) Everyone will become happy, and help Save the Pikachus.
