Re: Debian package on Windows



Hello,

Why did you send this message on Debian Apache and not in the main
mailing list? I'm sorry, but you're not able to own GNU GPL to suck in
your Application Manager. Either you will be educated mentioning it and
respecting his copyright.

I don't know why do you do it. Maybe you thought in new things to do.
Congrats for using Clang instead of GNU C Compiler, at least you're
trying don't using it to don't need mentioning him. But Debian is signed
in GPG too.

And of course, taking apt-get/Debian and implementing new DRMs to avoid
GNU. History is same the even. Or would be Microsoft don't mistreating
who shares the packing management? Are you trying to take it and kick
that out of new hardwares?

Reply us.
