Keep the rants out of the Doom Game
thread.

This will make both threads more readable, and
allow the Lisp/Scheme people to follow
the thread they want.

Since you insist: Rant, rant, rant, ... , rant.

who died and left you in charge?

actually, as long as you are in charge, could you just stop the whole 
GPL thread on CLL under whatever banner? Thx.

If they put it here and not in other threads people who
are not intrested in the definition of 'free' but are
intrested in Lisp can ignore this thread

but posting it to alt.pointless.ranting would be even better :)

My news server doesn't seem to carry that group.

Anyway, I like the GPL.  My only rant would be that not enough people
use it.

Alternatively, post in the Doom thread, change the subject line, and set
followups to gnu.misc.discuss.

My favorite quote related to the creative use of the definition of 'free',
as in "free as in beer" vs. "free as in speech":

    "That's 'free' as in 'free hundred quid'"
        -- someone's .sig

Tougher to build a political movement around that one, though...
