Is there a fund to which we can donate money towards his costs? I understand he is a solicitor and will almost certainly represent himself, but while he's doing that he can't make money representing others.
I'm not even American, and i'd send him some cash.
Why isn't the American Dream for all people to have a decent standard of life? Why does the American Dream have to be personal profit to the detriment of others? Why are you fuckers so damn GREEDY?
Call me a socialist / communist if you want; I call it civilised and humanitarian. It's because you idiots are so hell-bent on personal profit that you've let your country decline into the corporate whorehouse it is now.
Mod this how you feel, but this whole thread is one loooooooong string to my bow.

Now all they need to do is curb fingerprinting of holiday-makers, pre-boarding name checking against inaccurate and ineffective no-fly blacklists, and the general criminal treatment of anybody without a US passport, currently with little more rights than cattle outside the border, who wants to spend THEIR money on YOUR culture.
I use the term "culture" loosely. (If that gets me a troll mod, so be it.)
Toyota engineers were found guilty of stealing industrial secrets from the Ferrari F1 team. Not so off-topic, nor alegory for AMD and Intel respectively. Just a similar situation.
One huge flaw in your logic; Pharmeceutical companies have more money, better lawyers, and an infinitely more ruthless business practice than any large software developer.
Expect the first patent held by this F/OSD body held under a GPL-esque license to be contested in court by EVERY drug company. One after another, until every single penny is spent on legal defense.
I envisage a Pharmaceutical Industry Ass. of America in the making.
If it did, however, i'd expect a group of hundreds of thousands of cancer, AIDS, and other terminal illness patients who can't afford these potentially life-saving drugs to mob the CEO's of each pharmaceutical company which did.
I know if I was going to die because some multi-billionnaire wanted a 5% increase on his bonus mooched research from a body designed to help those in exactly that situation, AND THEN STOPPED THAT VERY BODY PRODUCING THE DRUG BY PATENTING THE CHEMCAL, i'd be around his mansion with a few large cable ties, a can of petrol, and Zippo lighter.
It's written into my contract that I do not document the domain admin password, and that I do not share it with anybody outside of the technical IT team without written confirmation from the Network Admin. The IT Manager and Head both agreed to this, and it won't change while I work here.
When users ask for Admin privilages, they should be told to go fsck themselves. No matter who they are.

It's FREE (as in beer) to use, and it's LOSSLESS.
WHAT MORE DO THEY WANT?
Please do not feed the trolls.
Thanks.
I urge you ALL to look up a band called 'Alestorm' on YouTube. "Nancy the Tavern Whench" is a particularly good tune.
PIRATE METAL!
In fact, it's almost obligatory to be not American.
Enjoy your time in Pokey if you ever head back to that state.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again; I wish 60% of the US population would "throw [their] vote away."

I've already posted so I can't mod you 'off topic', but that has NOTING to do with PTSD at ALL.
Hell, the story doesn't even have an ending! It just stops!

Yes, that could happen.
