With all due respect, danw6144, you have flogged this particular dead horse at great length already, and convinced no one.

Which one? In the same comment we read: If you still insist on flaming me, you should know that I have powerful friends in Washington, Beijing and Moscow.Therefore I suggest that we don't flame danw6144, but ignore him instead.
Setting the Record Straight: The FSF, the GPL and SCO versus IBM Posted Jan 15, 2004 20:29 UTC (Thu) by danw6144 (guest, #14336) [Link] Have you ever tried an honest, reasoned post or rebuttalwith sources and methods or does your mouse finger just quiver over its "dead horse button"? When a person posts a reasoned analysis, points to sources
Setting the Record Straight: The FSF, the GPL and SCO versus IBM Posted Jan 15, 2004 21:09 UTC (Thu) by pyellman (guest, #4997) [Link] danw6144> Have you ever tried an honest, reasoned post or rebuttal Have you ever tried posting something something in the form of a sensible hypothesis followed by direct, intelligible support for that hypothesis? To put it another way, when are you going to say something that at best, doesn't leave the rest of us scratching our heads and wondering "what the hell is this guy talking about?", or worse, wondering whether you are some kind of mole; you certainly seem to be a 7th level black belt master of what we now call SCOspeak. Specifically, in the case of the post in question, your core (actually, only) assertion appears to be: > ... Their [FSF's] belief is grounded upon a mistaken interpretation of the case law on licensing patents, highlighted in a 1938 decision by the Supreme Court in General Talking Pictures Corp. v. Western Electric Co., However, you offer absolutely no evidence for the assertion that the FSF's position is in any way -- mistaken or otherwise -- grounded in [mis]interpretation of the case in question. Slapping together snippets from the decision overlaid with your personal narration in no way supports your assertion. Does that help you understand why your stock is so worthless on this message board? Peter Yellman
