A few minutes ago I came across the latest post from Redmonk’s James Governor, about the new “Cloud Source License.” [1]
The use of CPL for the CloudLeft Public License will undoubtedly cause confusion, as the Open Source Initiative has already approved the Common Public License (CPL).
I am left-handed and I studied Latin in high school for four years, so I know the eytomolgy of the word “sinister.” I thus suggest that “left” be replaced by “share,” yielding CSPL.
As for Stallman reintroducing the advertising clause AND insisting on the use of the term “GNU/Cloud,” I can only say,
Richard, give us a break.
It is over.
It is Linux, not GNU/Linux.
You have better things to do, as do we.
Note:
1. Any post from James is good news indeed. I fear that his obituary will begin, “James Governor died recently. His body was found slumped over his terminal. The last words he typed were, “Here’s a good twit…”
