Seriously man, quit trolling Florian, we hear enough of your hyperbole whether we want to or not. Man, women, troll, cybernetic creature... Does it really matter? PJ's work and tireless effort helped end a long trial that (in an alternate reality) could have potentially ended poorly.
Give credit where it is due and if you don't have anything nice to say then shut up.

SEJeff, After reading further comments. Unfortunately I have to agree with you. Sad actually, because I see his lack of social skills hurting the very causes he cares about deeply.

WHAT causes? You mean destroying linux? He seems to believe in that pretty strongly!!!
Florian WAS a good ally in the fight against software patents. But he seems to have become a "disillusioned collaborator". He's quite happy to argue - with mathematicians - that "software isn't maths".
He argues "we've lost the fight against patents, we need to live with it". Well, software patents are illegal, and we need to make sure that that comes out!
What Florian wants is for the GPL and patents to "mutually coexist". Never mind that mutual coexistence will promptly trigger the GPL's self-destruct clause. But, given his behaviour in the MySQL case, it's highly likely that's what he wants...
Cheers,
