    Not borrowing a screwdriver out because it might be used for a break-in?

    I realize you might not be from the US but "borrow" means to "lend from" not "lend to". It's a real problem these days for people, especially in the Midwestern US, to use that term incorrectly and look like a tool.

    Save your breath. These amoral slime have convinced thmeselves that taking whatever software they want is fine as long ast they cloak themselves under the auspices the free software and open source movements. And even though they know that they'd violate the GPL or BSD licenses without a second thought if they could, neither Stallman nor Raymond will say a word to stop them because they need the followers.

    These people and the demagogues are the true face of FLOSS, not engineers like Torvalds.
