I chose not to read, I read the license.

Here's the thing. When you say "This is GPL code", you kind of have
to ship GPLd code. I realise this is difficult for the hard of thinking,
but getting creative with MODULE_LICENSE strings isn't good enough.

No Richard, I'm just respectful of the licenses of code that comes my way.
If you were a "real engineer", perhaps you would do the same.

Anyway, I've given up trying to educate pork, so don't feel compelled
to reply, I don't expect you to achieve enlightenment any time soon.

Who do you think you are that you can call me a pig?
Are you so independently wealthy that you don't have to
work for a living? Do you think the management at
Red Hat will allow you to continue to abuse customers?

I have been very conservative in taking abuse from you.
I have even respected your right to an extremely obtuse
and naive concept of intellectual property and how
"GPL" strings somehow validate something. However, I
shall not allow you to call me a pig. You will retract
that statement or I will use all means at my disposal
to have you terminated from your place of employment.
