[Typo3] Some feedback to TYPO3 marketeers

[Gabriel Anast]

I know I am going to look like an idiot for posting in this flame-fest 
again... but I think there is a very important point about Kasper's 
wishes that is being overlooked. Um, THEY ARE HIS WISHES. Get it? 
Wishes? Like as in, not a license or any part of a license?

OK, Kasper believes in a god. That god happens to be Jesus Christ. 
Kasper loves that god and has dedicated his life's work to that god. 
Fine. Every other person has done the exact same thing... whether that 
God is oneself, Allah, Aliens, or John Kerry... Who knows? I don't 
care... Some people tell me who their God is, some don't... and I really 
don't care (in a pragmatic sense) who your god is.

On a completely different level, Kasper has dedicated his life's work to 
the people of Earth. Freely and EXCLUSIVELY through the very open 
license, the GPL. That includes whining atheists!

As regards his release of software under the GPL, he can bring legal 
pressure to bear against any party that misuses his software as concerns 
the terms of the GPL.

As regards his god, there is no court on Earth that can or will defend 
his wishes that his software not be used for hate or exploitation. The 
only one who might be able to enforce his wishes is the very one to whom 
he has dedicated his software: his god.

The bottom line is, if you are afraid of Kasper's god, then simply make 
a request, like this: "Dear Kasper, Please un-dedicate your life's work 
to/from your God, I am afraid of him, and I'm not sure what he will do 
to me since I exploit young girls to make money."

If, on the other hand you really are an atheist... then quit whining and 
build your damn porn site. Its really annoying to hear this incessant 
moaning and griping about the plainly expressed, simple public sentiment 
of one of the best programmers ever to grace God's green er... Darwin's 
green Earth.

Stop yer whining, and code.

PS: I completely agree with Joey's sentiments here:
