I do.

You have not one clue about me or the work I've done over the last 25
years.

Which is why I asked. But you've still not made clear your credentials.
If you think the stuff given away to RISCWorld subscribers is "free
software", then you're demonstrating a profound lack of understanding of
the terms, and are thus in no way qualified to pontificate on what any
term in that family of phrases means - which is why I asked what you
*had* contributed that gives you that background.

Rob, you are a complete waste of space.

If that were the consensus, I'd remove myself from all the work on do in
the public interest (including all the RISC OS-related work), and you'd
have succeeded in alienating another developer because of your profound
obnoxiousness. Do you really want that?

We already have one John Cartmell, we don't need another one.

I find the comparison deeply insulting: I suspect John will too.

Now why not simply back up your position that RISC OS has been open
sourced by proving two links:

Link1 - the open source licence for RISC OS. Link2 - the complete source
code to this open source RISC OS.

Unless you can provide both (and we both know that you can't, then you
are wrong). Period.

Your logic astounds me. Read what Steve has said, and see if you can
fathom the distinctions required. Then, if you wish to continue to back
up your opinion, provide some background for why your opinion should have
more value than the opinions of people who are actually involved.

And how on earth would providing a link to the entire source code of RISC
OS prove anything? Have you thought this through at all, or are you just
trying to make a big splash in your tiny fish bowl to make it seem you're
more important than you really are? Why not actually back stuff up with
more than "it's true because I am right, thus you must be wrong." ?

And no, mocking somebody's name is not an example of good argument: it's
an example of school yard behaviour. Given I've never heard that
specific childish corruption before, I'm assuming the "some people" are
actually you.
