<br>Just sent this to the eightycolumn list. I'm not going to even read any of the messages from the original post. I'm Sorry, ok.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Oh dear...<div class="im"><br><br>"I am guessing you are pointing to the fact that libpd encourages the<br>
production of proprietary software and their distribution on closed apps<br>
markets?"<br>
<br><br></div>Yes absolutely, plus the whole iThing-planetary-destruction-not-really-what-I-thought-'we'-are working-towards-type-stuff (idealistic idiot that I am).<br><br>Also seems like such a clear distinction between OSSvsFSF/FLOSS stuff. Yes I can see that on one side what's wrong with libpd sucking the core out of Pd and doing what they want, that's what the license/gift allows people to do. Then after that I guess it's also okay for the author to get on the pd-list with a 'buy my book' schtick (plus then a large cue of people saying how happy they are to get their amazon order in now; kindle version yours for £10, ebook an extra 2.50 even if you've bought the book - grrr), can you see where this is going?<br>
<br>So yes, then some guy from the publisher posting a link to an online review and 'hey pd's kewl man' tipped me over the edge.<br><br>Yes it's dumb<br>Yes I'm going to spend the rest of the day cringing and apologising<br>
Yes I've recently stopped smoking and am somewhat psychotic.<br><br>Probably would have been better to have gone for a walk or something.<br><br>Anyway, onwards eh,<br><br>Julian<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>
