Wallace's Second Anti-GPL Suit Loses

Enterprise OpenSource Magazine is reporting that Daniel Wallace's second Anti-GPL lawsuit has gone down in flames. From the (short) article: "The judge wrote that 'Antitrust laws are for 'the protection of competition, not competitors.' In this case, the GPL benefits consumers by allowing for the distribution of software at no cost, other than the cost of the media on which the software is distributed. 'When the plaintiff is a poor champion of consumers, a court must be especially careful not to grant relief that may undercut the proper function of antitrust.' Because he has not identified an anticompetitive effect, Wallace has failed to allege a cognizable antitrust injury.'"

Re:Sir, are you an idiot?

I read your post half a dozen times or so and but I can't tell. Do you charge your loved one for making her happy? (I know, I know, I'm making a few assumptions here.)

No. Of course not. I keep the price low so she won't have another reason to think my competitors are superior.

Which means you're the idiot. And a lousy lay.

Re:What?

That's right, like us "dumping" our opinions on the market instead of charging for them like professional opinion writers.

That presumes your opinion had any value when it was created.

I submit that it clearly does not.

If you consider saying we live in a Republic a correction to a claim we live in a Democracy, I suspect you also think saying you live in a city is a correction to a claim you live in a house.

America is a Democracy. The legislature is answerable to the people. It's also a Republic. The functions of the government are constitutionally seperated with a non-heriditary head of state.

So please, fuck off.
