@bkuhn Yes, I'm talking about tech industry perception. Settling ("we won't enforce GPL if you drop this patent thing") might be bad, too. -

@bkuhn also I take my wins where I can find them. -

It'd be interesting to see the gap over time, and the gap in apps/install, too. -

So true. -

I just don't think it's helpful for GPL enforcement in general if it's seen as a sneaky trick to retaliate against a patent troll. -

I don't have a problem with it. But from the outside, it looks like enforcing GPL is the same as pursuing a software patent. -

That said, the fact that they're enforcing in retaliation for patent trolling makes the GPL enforcement look equivalent. That's bad. -

I'm usually right, @bkuhn. -

I think we need to look past the success of luxury systems like Macs. We need to make sure people who need or want them have free desktops. -

@bkuhn I think that our current situation is a source of opportunity. So many ways for hackers to have an impact.
