Well, the copy attached to Sean's introductory email (also
on his web site) states among other things: "..the most
expendable, unimportant engineers work on GPL software and
the better software engineers work on BSDL-licensed
software."
In a gift economy / meritocracy like ours, that's just about
the worst thing you can say about a group of peers.
By the way I don't think Sean's a hateful person. I don't
even think he cares whether anyone uses his license. I just
think he was having some fun at our expense.
Sincerely,
Bruce
