SubjectRe: blatant GPL violation of ext2 and reiserfs filesystem drivers
From
Date
>Why don't you go and look instead of quibbling in the abstract?

I'm in favor of asking for clarification on the mailing list instead of
going and looking. It's more efficient for one person to do the research
and then disseminate the information on a mailing list instead of everyone
going and looking.

>Why are you bothering to nitpick Harald?

I'm in favor of the nitpick. Little ambiguities and errors can cause big
misunderstandings that snowball; I have more trouble with people who fail
to recognize they've inferred something that wasn't said than with people
who refuse to infer.

>Do you not realise he understands the GPL better than you do

As a scientist, I give no one a free ride with, "It's true because I said
it and I should know." Being an expert only means you're better able to
prove you're right.
