@cameronmoore136 Yeah, Linux just wants to get stuff done, so they accept non-free blobs. Doesn't necessarily make them better though. We should all strive for freedom.

@formbi I would say it's more to do with the fact that people jump the gun and make wild assumptions about anything and everything and he is very precise in his language while everyone around him is sloppy. The funny thing here is that I take the exact opposite stance where as a person I think he's perfectly fine, but his stance on the licensing of software and the industry at large has actually held Linux back from wider scale adoption. Although, I tend to look at things from more than one angle and understand nuance.

Well, at least it's not RCS, but what about Mercury, why would they not use it if they hate all the rest?

@guss77 Yes, Mercurial, I keep calling it mercury because of the program name. I tend to think of the GPL as a non-free license too, but if I'm only using a piece of software I don't care. If I need to modify something it depends on if I'm going to distribute it, that's the only time I'd worry about dropping it.

Yes.

@bluephreakr What wallpaper would that be? Something stolen from Windows or Mac, or maybe a game?
