BSA Accuses OpenOffice Mirrors

Posted by michael on from the premature-exclamation dept.

    So, the someone at the BSA made a mistake with their scripts, and when it was noticed they immediately apologized and said they would fix the problem.

    What exactly should they have done if not this? If your answer is that their search engine is inherently a flawed concept to begin with, then you are arguing a different issue.

    I don't see what this has to do with my rights online.
