It may _also_ be useful to show them on the terminal, in case the user would like to see them now, and has redirected stderr somewhere other than the terminal. In that case a program might show them on /dev/tty as well.
(Can make user-editable wikis as well.)
$ mkdir foo
$ echo foo > foo/bar
$ cp -a foo foo2
$ summain -r foo > foo.summain
$ summain -r foo2 > foo2.summain
$ diff foo*.summain
It produces output that is meant to be usefully diffable.
From your writing I deduce you are of the opinion that open source is more or less equivalent to permissive licensing, i.e., using BSD-style licenses.
The actual difference between the two is that open source values the productivity benefits that come from sharing, whereas free software is primarily about protecting the freedom of people.
Mocking should be done carefully, and one should avoid mocking things one doesn't understand.
It's not a useful discussion that will ever go well, so I'm not surprised it's a big subthread on HN.
