I'll just say it: recursive naming is stupid and elitist (not everyone is good at math or recursive logic) and anytime it's done it does make me want to throw a nerd through a window.

This shit runs the world and making it purposefully hard to understand for people without background in those fields is, once again, elitist.

They're mad because GNU's Not Unix and such.

I had to look that up to fully understand it.

It didn’t even occur to me that the recursive naming was a math or logic thing. I’m just happy to have freeware/copyleft/etc licensing because fuck corporations ¯\(ツ)/¯
