McBride's New Open Letter on Copyrights

dtfinch writes "An open letter was posted today by Darl McBride, where he restates his claim that the GPL violates the U.S. Constitution, patent laws, copyright laws, and the DMCA. Mostly he just builds up a false image of the Free Software Foundation and open source supporters claiming that they have no respect for intellectual property and believe copyrights should be eliminated, then attacks that image, AKA the straw man attack. Nothing we haven't seen before."

    [..] without protection, American companies would unfairly lose technology advantages to companies in other countries [..]


    Meaning that 'Merican companies need looking after, shielding them from the rest of the evil world to keep all advantages 'Merican, because otherwise non-'merican companies would go steamrolling over 'merican companies and crush them with innovation and technological breakthroughs?
