Re:He should have seen that coming.
Why would I need to I don't need to follow copyright laws from the states. "Copyright is a form of intellectual property which gives the creator of an original work exclusive rights for a certain time period in relation to that work, including its "publication, distribution and adaptation"; after which time the work is said to enter the public domain. Copyright applies to any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete. Some jurisdictions also recognize "moral rights" of the creator of a work, such as the right to be credited for the work." publication # (n.) An act done in public. # (n.) That which is published or made known; especially, any book, pamphlet, etc., offered for sale or to public notice; as, a daily or monthly publication. # (n.) The act of publishing or making known; notification to the people at large, either by words, writing, or printing; proclamation; divulgation; promulgation; as, the publication of the law at Mount Sinai; the publication of the gospel; the publication of statutes or edicts. # (n.) The act of offering a book, pamphlet, engraving, etc., to the public by sale or by gratuitous distribution. Distribution # [noun] (statistics) an arrangement of values of a variable showing their observed or theoretical frequency of occurrence Synonyms: statistical # [noun] the spatial property of being scattered about over an area or volume Synonyms: dispersion # [noun] the act of distributing or spreading or apportioning # [noun] the commercial activity of transporting and selling goods from a producer to a consumer Adaptation # (n.) The act or process of adapting, or fitting; or the state of being adapted or fitted; fitness. # (n.) The result of adapting; an adapted form. So where in the copyright does it say you cant download and view unless it is vaguely stated in distributed. copied from wiki, http://thinkexist.com/dictionary/meaning/adaptation/ and http://www.elook.org/dictionary/distribution.html

Re:CoolMicrosoft paid Novell to participate in a plan to embrace, extend, and extinguish Open Source. Something that really surprises me about Open source advocates is that most seams not to understand the most important thing about it: open source is not a single entity, it is a collective or, more precisely, a "network army" and therefore the tactics used by microsoft to attack former rival (Novell among them) are hardly been effective.
I'm not saying they will not try neither than there is no serious risk, but I think Open Source community should realize that the tactics needed here are different and that is VEYY dangerous to enter in Microsoft's game of spreading FUD.

But they stole it!
Everybody knows the Newton was really the work of DEC, who were the true innovators with their Leibnitz line of handhelds.
The Leibnitz never caught on, due to the unique marketing approach that was synonymous with Digital.
