   My favorite part of the Galling Public License is:   
      
   "When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid   
   circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention   
   is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the   
   covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or   
   modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's   
   users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of   
   technological measures."   
      
   Such legal clarity could never be challenged or construed in 8 different   
   ways...

   tsk tsk Larry Duh.  YOU get to support YOUR unfounded claim about Windows:   
      
      
   "If you have trouble with an open-source package on Windows, always try   
   it on Linux for comparison. Such freezes are so common on Windows   
   anyway, you cannot automatically blame the issue on the app without   
   this elementary check."   
      
      
   You won't, of course: you're a cola Linux advocate.  You never supported   
   your unfounded claim from 18 months ago, either:

   "Here's a simple test: try installing more than one or two of them on a   
   Windows machine. You might get as far as half a dozen if you're lucky.   
   The more you put on, the less stable your Windows machine becomes, until   
   at some point it falls over and becomes completely unusable.   
      
   And the only way to recover? Wipe and reinstall your Windows system."

   When rbowman called you out, you whined "Give it a try. Prove me wrong."   
      
   You never did support your wild-ass claim.  It's been crickets for 18   
   months and counting.   
      
   Why so half-ass and lazy, Larry?
