Not at all! Why should people be allowed to debate an issue about which they have no real knowledge at all? What's wrong with expecting people to learn the *facts* about an issue before being allowed to decide its outcome? The only place that seems to be expected is in politics, and we all know how well *that* works...
If Miguel sells his apps, he's not going to let you pass your copy on to other people. If he makes his money from sales, he can't let you do that - it ultimately destroys his revenue stream.
Uh-oh... somebody better tell RedHat to get out of the Linux game quick! It seems that they're selling something that other people are giving away *for free*! *gasp* I don't get it... somehow they manage to make money even though they're selling a freely available product, and indeed giving it away for free themselves! (Check ftp.redhat.com if you don't believe me)
... such as? Overturned by which court? Sources? And so soon after the releasing of the report? That's the fastest turnaround I've *ever* heard of from a US legal proceeding. I was under the impression that a Finding of Fact wasn't a judgement and hence couldn't be overturned/appealed. (Disclaimer: IANAL, so somebody correct me if I'm wrong here.)
Did anyone else notice (and find as amusing as I did) that the questions (all two of them) in the Linux section all had answers in the little description field, while the questions in most other sections (all the ones I tried, anyway) were mostly wild claims about how wonderful an answer you could have for money? Maybe Linux users have become conditioned to helping each other out for free. Or maybe we're just that wonderful...:P
It doesn't seem to be applying some of my preferences (like Nested vs. Threaded comments - I have it set as Nested in my preferences, but it seems to have just started ignoring that today.) Anyone else having similar problems, or did I just break something on my own?

Anyone else find this odd?
