Lawsuit Says GPL is a Price-Fixing Scheme

Soko writes "Yes, it's real. The crack team of Daniel Wallace and Maureen O'Gara have ganged up once again to protect their version of "The American Dream," he by filing a lawsuit in Indiana court saying the GPL is nothing more than a price fixing scheme designed to drive software vendors out of business, she by parroting the proprietary vendors' "The GPL kills business" mantra (as well as a few well placed insults at the free software community). I found the story on Groklaw - no links to Ms. O'Gara or Mr. Wallace from me. I'm still kind of dumbfounded at the audacity of Mr. Wallace, but wonder if he has an angle that might have a slim chance of prevailing." This Google search reveals some of Daniel Wallace's views on the GPL.

Why do you live in a rural area?

If you don't like the ISP choices, move elsewhere. If the rural lifestyle is more your style, why should the tax payers subsidize your lack of ISP choices.

Last time I looked, no ISPs where making extraordinary profits. At least any publicly traded ISPs that I can find.

Unless, of course, the only tax payers involved are your local, fellow rural citizens... but that is not likely now-a-days. Seems all money gets sucked into some central planning committee, before being re-distributed. At least that is how it is here in California.
