254 undefined error.
I am both for and against the GPLv3. I am all for updating it, but the
wording and additional restrictions are appalling, none the least the
motivations for updating it, and now the attitude RMS has against any
"Interviewer" questioning the process and contents is exceptionally
appalling.
Especially when interviewed by one of the GPLv3's biggest openly for it
supporter. He was very offensive and very bitter and short and just
generally an ass.
I am really still out on deliberations as to what should really be
there.
