Haven't you heard? SCOG have renounced open source and the GPL.

Is it such a stretch that the community that supports open source are
renouncing SCOG?

Perhaps the solution for SCOG keeners is to support open source within your
own community. Is that not what the OP is asking?

Perhaps when SCOG is dissolved we can once again look to our cousins in the
closed source Unix community with a little more sympathy and understanding
but at the moment you guys are persona non grata.

If you are unhappy with this state of affairs, why don't you complain to the
mothership - perhaps Darl isn't aware that his actions are causing distress
to the drones.
