Why make such statements in the first place then?

Freedom of speech :P

I said this to an idiot friend of mine who liked to make comments just for fun. I'm repeating it here. Mind you, you might have been joking, but I don't see it as a joke.

Suppose there's some girl who's been raped. You make some comment to her, unknowing as to what she's faced maybe. It hurts her very much and she commits suicide. Who's responsible?

Freedom of speech does not mean that you abuse it. Take some responsibility.

I haven't used BSD, but I'd like to hear your explanation as to this statement. If you do not have an explanation, issue an apology because it is a provocative statement.

Clearly this argument is not going to have a graceful conclusion.

Does it really matter which is better or which is not(in phlosphical, technical, or even commercial terms) in anyone's opinion as the basic point we all have the Freedom to use, modify, and publish what we want? Let there be more kernels and more compilers et all with their lovers and critics, at the end of the day let the people choose and decide for themselves.

i admit, at the same time i do respect both your freedom's to argue as well. But just consider the above few lines...
