I'm quite familiar with RHEL and CentOS (and Fedora for that matter), I'm a bit of a distro whore.

Some of the points in his quote were actually about the licensing of the binaries and not availability of the source code, restrictions Redhat impose on their binaries as well.

I can argue that RHEL is only 99.99999999999999999% open source seing as parts (branding) are removed from the code in the public repos, but I'm not going to do that because that's not what the spirit of Open source is all about

Not true at all
Well, that all depends on how you look at it. Yes, OSX is built on top of many open source components....but at the end of the day, as a complete package, it is proprietary software just as Windows is when talking about it as a whole. Can I download the source code for Cocoa or the Dock and modify it? Can I redistribute OSX freely? Darwin is open source, OSX is proprietary. --ZephyrXero 18:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Can I download the source code for any of RHEL's components and modify them? Yes you can. Can you redistribute RHEL freely? Yes you can actually as long as you remove the Red Hat trademarks (i.e branding) and it is being done.

The point is Red Hat are genuinely Open Source all of the components of their OS are freely available for you to download modify and compile yourself. OSX is not even on the same level and I find it laughable that anyone would compare Apple making their Unix based OS effectively proprietary to Red Hat not wanting their logo on software they have no obligation to support.

6 days.

Feel free to quote me, so I can see what you think I've said.

You know full well what you've said, mostly talking in circles, but you'll never admit what it all means.

See, I knew someone would feed you while I was driving

:D

MAC, Mac, mac whatever... You obviously knew what I meant. :p

I figured it out.

:D

I do know what I've said. That's why I'm confused when people start saying things I haven't.

I've derailed this thread enough as it is...while you love to talk in circles your deranged thinking is well understood...I have a killer theoretical situation to throw your way but this thread isn't the proper forum for it so I'll let it lie for now but I'm sure it won't be long before the proper situation presents itself. So keep on trolling, our paths will cross again I'm sure...

I'll look forward to it. I love a good debate.

Haha, you shouldn't be so confident, I'm sure I'll push the boundaries of what's allowed around here and make you very uncomfortable in the process...or you'll just keep denying and talking in circles, but I'll bet somewhere in your twisted little mind you'll get the point

So keep on trolling, you are entertaining if not logical;)

I'll be surprised if it does any of that, but I'll look forward to it. I am only logical.

I have issues with my episodic memory, not my semantic memory. Google it, read, learn, understand. Get back to me then.

That still doesn't make sense. You can't both know what you've said and also not remember what you've said at the same time, selectively based on whether it serves you at the time. You're full of shit.

I don't remember personal experiences, I can't remember tying on this forum, or who I've talked to.

I know facts, I know figures, I know that I've done certain things. I know what kind of things I would type, I know what I'm like.

For example. I've been to the Grand Canyon, I know I have but I don't remember being there, I can't picture it. I don't know what happened there, I just know I've been there. You didn't google and read up on it like I said did you? You're full of shit.

There's a thread about it in L&R if you want to read more.

I read some on it, and basically you can't have it both ways. So yeah, you're full of shit.

Interesting because you, a forum troll think one thing, and the doctors / psychiatrists / psychologists / neurologists I've seen think another :hmm: It seems you are wrong.

Says the guy telling me who my mind works, without having ever met me.

Just going by what you've posted.

If you know what you've said, then you couldn't forget arguing about a topic before because you forgot what you've said.
