[LAU] For your good morning laugh: Fwd: Re: A Jumble of Lines - Because that's what systemD is.

[Gerald Mwangi]

Hi Guys, since i also use Ubuntu i'm on the Ubuntu dev list. Here's
someone ( Castle OfWhite/Chateau DuBlanc ) first complaining about
systemD. He even "wrote" a "song" about that called Jumble of Lines and
published it on youtube (youtu.be/ACDi1YOcupk). The best part: He uses
the GPL to license the SONG!! Prompted by others that the GPL is
inadequate for non-software, that is, art material, this is his reply.
Needless to mention, he was banned from the list.
Disclaimer:
The following does not represent my views/ is not my words and the
"SONG" is CERTAINLY NOT MINE. I'm forwarding it to you for your
entertainment from the ubuntu mailing list.
Regards Gerald

Nope. Fuck you.
It was good enough for us then and it's good enough for us now.
You can use this media with any GPL program or other GPL media.
Go and fuck yourself.
(and hey, it's dual licensed under CC BY SA anyway if you're a
homosexual who is anal)

The Law is all about appeals to authority, dumbass.

It's my fucking song and I can distribute it as I like, and I say the
GPL is the license.
You can certainly use it and modify it and do anything you could do with
a GPL program.
YOU cannot tell ME what I decide for MY FUCKING SONGS YOU PIECE OF SHIT.

FUCK YOU YOU DAMNED PRO FEMINIST FUCK.
And Fuck SystemD.
 

My Copyright protected work, MY LICENSING DECISION.
And I have decided GPL. It has always worked and is proven.
And if you continue to keep saying I have licensed it less permissably.

Well then that's libel and I hope to see you in an alleyway, because
you're spreading lies about me.
Shut your fucking mouth.

That's a weak argument. It's an appeal to authority and to tradition.

The GPL directly describes considerations for linking and source code,
as well as program executable modules. While it makes some sense to
include resources in the definition of the program in general,
extracting the media from the program immediately creates confusion
about what exactly was violated; the only proper interpretation is that
distributing the media with the program is allowed, while the media
without being part of the program is not under any permissive license
and, thus, distributing it is a copyright violation.

Okay, civilized conversation has broken down.
