"When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk."

There are times when the world needs a color between black and white.
Quality code to match the good's, but two-timing, backstabbing and ready to
2012-09-24 13:32:12 +00:00
sell your freedom down the river. These plugins might have a patent noose
around their neck, or a lock-up license, or any other problem that makes you
think twice about shipping them.
2012-10-07 15:13:11 +00:00
We don't call them ugly because we like them less. Does a mother love her
son less because he's not as pretty as the other ones ? No - she commends
2012-09-24 13:32:12 +00:00
him on his great personality. These plugins are the life of the party.
And we'll still step in and set them straight if you report any unacceptable
behaviour - because there are two kinds of people in the world, my friend:
those with a rope around their neck and the people who do the cutting.

This module contains a set of plugins that have good quality and correct
functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The license
2012-09-24 13:32:12 +00:00
on either the plugins or the supporting libraries might not be how we'd
like. The code might be widely known to present patent problems.
2012-09-24 13:32:12 +00:00
Distributors should check if they want/can ship these plugins.
