     @jezra @ericxdu23 Yeah, I heard that too. Great episode until that point. Now I lost a bit of respect for him.

     @jezra @ericxdu23 Well, the Suckless people sure seemed to see both the license and their design to be a way to stick it to Big GNU.

     @jezra Listening to it again, he's less aggressive than what I experienced the first time. I guess I was taken aback by "the virus". FUD.
