Thought experiment: what would GNU be if all of its packages stopped developing? Dead, right?
Software that can be run, studied, redistributed, and modified is in a state that is strarkly different than matter that is decaying in an irreversiable chemical reaction -- i.e. death.
So lets not call software for dead, or alive. Getting a program running again is quite possible, but a dead chicken quite the opposite. _______________________________________________ Hangout mailing list Hangout-at-nylxs.com http://lists.mrbrklyn.com/mailman/listinfo/hangout
