12:33 PM Andrew: so
you around?
me: yeah
Andrew: I got a story for you
I went on the gnu irc channel to ask a quesiton about license compatability
because I wanted to release some software that has GPL dependencies
12:34 PM and about 6 people start answering my question
and this one guy starts saying "ask a lawyer" like 4 times in a row
so I reply "If it requires a lawyer to untangle this mess, Its not that important to me to release the code"
12:35 PM and he starts calling me retarded and a troll, and jsut making silly internet-rage comments to me while I try to get info form other people
so I left
but then I realized the guy who was being a dick was named "rms" and had an mit.edu domain name
12:36 PM so, summary, I asked a question on the GNU irc channel and richard stallman threw a temper tantrum and called me retarded
me: huh
I insist you post that on reddit
12:37 PM Andrew: I didnt realize that it was him until I hung up, but I believe they log that channel, le tme find it
