RE: Carl's announcement. Pretty Cool. I know that's what everyone 
expected but it was nice to see it in writing nonetheless. "I'll 
be working on it soon, so stay tuned. "

But the way he said it...

I know, we didn't follow the directions carefully... Too much bloat.

Ah, Kaj may be on to something with his Troll comment. :-( 

Sorry for any false hope.

Oh, that's true. Well, we'll see.

Looking at other blog post comments, Carl's should appear with a 
different background color. It's been so long since he commented, 
that I didn't think about that.
And it tells you how desperate I am for an answer from him. :-)

We all feel the same. That's why we can't clearly see the troll (still 
some hope in our poor heart)

Gregg, I was wondering if the troll did your response, as well :-)

No, mine legit. What a world we live in.

Kaj was asking Gregg. Are you Gregg as well James ? (/me confused 
beyond help)
I see trolls everywhere now :-)

No, I am james and I didn't read kaj's question enough but I have 
an excuse... I am in the middle of a rebol application that is not 
going so smoothly. :-)

Well, once after already having been in the first REBOL world for 
some time, someone asked if I was a bot...
I'm probably the bot detecting bot

kajbot, eh?
Well, "Kaj" is a one 'syllable' word :-)

Kaj means 'chicken" I don't see the connection with robot though 
;-)
Brian didn't see it

I noticed that it wasn't the same color, but guess I took your words 
for it. We'll find out soon enough.

Well, more I read it, more it becomes obvious.

Last week, a few heffalumps burst into my basement and turned over 
the last barrel of 1999 Châtemateloo

Using a microwave oven, amateur radio, and 4 lines of code in REBOL 
I was able to construct a modem and here I am.
 
Pretty funny

There's at least one such REBOL troll who writes well enough that 
it makes you doubt

heffalumps = fictional animal
Pretty funny though

Well, now on to creating a new "save-the-world-open-source-license". 
Why is it so hard to just pick one like MIT and release the code. 
Every day we loose, we can't get back. I expect this licensing thing 
to take at least 12 months. It's just waste of time.
And even if it's a troll, Carl should just pick MIT :-)

Max, it's unfortunately fake. Sorry.

Well... I don't know... if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes 
the truth. 
So just repeat this announce, it'll became true!

When I saw Max's post here, I went to check the blog because I thought 
it was a joke from Max. :-)
But, apparently it's a joke from someone else.
I find it funny that you guys fell for it, it was clearly not Carl's 
style of writing. Besides, he already has his own open source license. 
:) (When I was in Ukiah, we went to lunch with his - at the time 
- lawyer, who created his own license... I can't find it on Wikipedia 
right now, but it used to be there.)
ok, i think it was Lawrence Rosen and the license was the Open Software 
License.

I'm more concerned about the license. His last attempt at an open 
source R3 license wasn't - it had usage restrictions that violated 
the definition. That's why all of my mezzanine work was MIT licensed, 
even the stuff that Carl included in R2 and R3.

So, just the mezz code recently added or all R2/R3 mezz code is MIT?
Andreas

Heh, so the person impersonating Carl on his blog is now also trying 
to fake the yellow background? Quite insistent, that one :)

Ah, I was wondering, because it's not completely filled out, but 
he got me this time
I can't find anything on Github
BrianH

Doc, maybe half of R3's mezz code is MIT (since I wrote it). All 
R2 mezz changes since 2.7.5 are MIT too since they're licensed from 
R2/Forward.

You replied the same second Kaj Luke!
Kaj
10-Sep-2012
[427]
No, that's another way to prove the point. You can just edit the 
time of your message. Do you want me to answer before the previous 
post? :-)
Arnold

Maybe you can get the columns the same height again? No I just wrote 
it to point this out in case someone doesn't notice.
Kaj
10-Sep-2012
[429]
No, I can't edit previous messages. Maybe the troll can
Arnold

I was doubting my previous postings ;)

We have no proof the second fake Carl is the same as the first fake 
Carl :)
Kaj

To add to the idiocy, there's now a third, real Carl. He's stating 
he agrees with the fake one
