Possibly. But this case really touched a nerve when I heard about it when the whole saga started. Here we are, a community that often cares about the rest of the world; we provide shit-tons of free labor to the world at large; most hackers I know have a good heart; many of us give away products that we could really be charging for; etc. etc. And this guy has absolutely no decency to share and be a good citizen! He's been suing anybody who disagrees with him, throwing his money at lawyers and just dragging the process along. He has benefited from the labors of others over the years (SunOS was based on BSD, for instance). But he continues to be a jerk. BTW: this is not his first rodeo. 20+ years ago (memory is fuzzy, so apologies in advance) there was drought in the Bay Area. There were water use restrictions, and watering your lawns was forbidden/aggressively discouraged. But who in the Valley was the #1 consumer of water, using millions of gallons to water his precious lawns? Vinod Fucking Khosla. |
