Took you off the blocklist 'cause you’re a great source of entertainment. Really elevates my day after my morning coffee.
I lurk a lot, and I tend to remember names in active communities after a few days. There’s some amazing people in our communities, who contribute in good faith and with rational citations.
And then there’s you. Refusing to perform a simple trip to Wikipedia to find the proper evidence in writing that validated the “Typical Linux success story” to begin with.
Let me save you the trip by the way: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel (Wikipedia article)
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/…/GPL-2.0 (Direct link to the GPL 2.0 license, since you likely don’t have the initiative to scroll 10% down the page)
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus's_law (Linus’s law Wikipedia article, take the time to read and download The Cathedral and The Bazaar so you can read arguments for the current model that aren’t fresh from your ass)
Oh and Caesar from Fallout: New Vegas called, he wants his misrepresentation of dialectics and philosophy back, you ignoramus prick.

It’s very telling to even expect that someone here doesn’t know what GPL is.
It’s probable that I’ve been a Linux user and interested in it for longer than you, and I’ve read Raymond’s thing at least 12 years ago. I’ve also read some counterarguments.
BTW, at this current point in time I’m again closer to the “bazaar” than to the “cathedral” side of the argument. And Linux isn’t.
In general, having a text in support of something is not a final argument. Honestly it’s weird to encounter it being used as such from someone who’s likely literate more than in first generation.
I’m fine with arguments fresh from my ass if those are more than you can present. And that’s how arguments among intelligent people work, FYI.
It’s unfortunate that your intelligence doesn’t allow you to see how clumsy this is, to call someone names instead of, again, providing arguments.
