Well done NAR! I hereby nominate you for the Bruce Perens Award for Outrageous Hyperbole. When Bruce equated himself to the Civil Rights movement I was impressed. Now that you're afraid of the FSF burning you at the stake or stoning you to death for using proprietary software, I must say, you've bested even him. And that's not easy!

Bruce took an analogy from Civil Rights to Free Software. He did *not* compare himself to anybody.

no exaggeration please

It sounds to me like he thinks he's Martin Luther King. Maybe it was just a poor analogy.

Thank you :-)

Actually I'm not afraid of FSF - usually it's not the "preacher" who does the violence, but the audience.

Bye,NAR
