I talked about that earlier. Why is it even on this site if it isn't open source? And it is based on prejudice as he is being a hypocrite which shows he has absolutely no good intentions. The U.S. Iraqi invasion is much worse. Therefore, he is showing prejudice which means he's discriminating.
Edit: By the way, a lot of scripts are included with GlovePie, some were written by users on the forums. Did they ever agree to put their work under that license?

Hypocrisy and discrimination are not synonyms. But for the sake of your argument, let's say they are. What if he put another clause saying that no one involved in the U.S./Iraq could use his program? Would that then be fair to you?

And from what I understand, this site isn't all about open source software. It was originally conceived to further the research required to run Linux on the Wii. From the about page:
Quote:
* WiiLi is our long-term goal: Linux for the Wii. However, before we will reach that point, a lot of information about the Wii needs to be gathered. Before we will be able to make WiiLi it must be possible to run homebrew software on the Wii. Until then we are working on WiiLi Link, a Live CD that turns standard PC's into a media and gaming center designed around the Wii Remote. We're developing on PCs right now, with hopes of porting WiiLi to the Wii later on.

This site is about Wii Linux only, game piracy related activities are not to be discussed here.
Note that the term "open source" does not appear anywhere in that quote.

Homebrew and Linux do excessively though. I also never said that discrimination is a synonym to prejudice. You said he has good intentions, he believes he does but really doesn't, he is a hypocrite therefore the whole "good intentions" excuse is bullshit.

Now you've got yourself wrapped up in 2 concurrent arguments. So which would you rather have?

Option #1 - Carl changes his license so that everyone can use it. The software still isn't open source however and has no business being here, according to you.

Option #2 - All traces of GlovePIE are removed from these forums and the Wiki itself. The program's hypocritical license is still out on the internet, offending you on some molecular level.

You can't have both.

All I want is for him to remove that disclaimer and the ban. The open source thing is something that will just cause the software to have no use once the live cd and wiili is released. You aren't going to stick non-open source software with a ban on a country on a linux distro.

Sushi can't use it 'cuz he lives in Israel, I think it's a little more than a minor thing for him.

It's a Linux Live-CD, it won't be in there either way unless it's just added for kicks being a Windows app :/

EDIT: Sushi edited his post.

If it was open-source it probably would be converted and added so people can write scripts for applications that need special ones.
