    Yeah, but this article is licensed under the GPL v 3 !!!

    So you can't listen to it using GPL v2 software like linux.

    (... and there's bound to be some idiot^Wphb^Wastroturfer out there who is ready to spout off about how this is *really really really* the case and suggest we all avoid the "problems" of the "viral open sores GPL" by going to Windows ....)

    Hey, this is Slashdot! Not listening to the podcast is just as quick as not reading the article!
