There are so many things wrong with this that I don't even know where to begin.
Yeah, why spend your time adding information and opinions to the topic when you can spend it looking for more redundant writeups contributed by unpaid volunteers.
Declan McCullagh's PoliTech list just forwarded a message detailing how Verisign is sending letters to people who own domains through other registrars, attempting to make them change registrar on renewal.
In other news, Microsoft is bundling IE with Windows in order to get people to stop using Netscape.
Not if you do it for profit, don't put the quote in quotes (or otherwise show that it's a quote), and quotations are 100% of your derived work. That's called plagiarism.

Ed Cherlin writes: "A press release on PR Newswire states that Morrison & Foerster, aka MoFo, is suing Etracks of Belmont CA under California law for continuing to spam MoFo's e-mail clients after proper legal notification to stop, and for failing to put ADV: or ADV:ADLT in the subject line. MoFo asks for an injunction and legal costs in addition to statutory damages ($50/spam up to $25,000/day). More than 6,500 messages were received after the notification was delivered, so that comes to $325,000 on the first count, plus fees. MoFo lawyers get what? $500/hour? More?"

Dude, I never announced. For whatever stupid reason, this got modded up to 5. Stupid fucking moderators. I'm never gonna... Umm... YHBT. Yeah, that's it.
this article on CNET News.com indicates that Microsoft intends to sue them into oblivion.
Umm, no...
"We're not asking the court to stop the company from making their products," said Microsoft spokesman Jon Murchinson. "What we're saying is they should not use a name that could confuse the public and infringe on our valuable trademark."
Fucking slashdot editors... I'm through. I contribute to slashdot no more. This is my last post.
But you only need to purchase from IANA if you need portable address space. If you only need a/24 or/27, you should be purchasing it from your ISP. We don't need routing tables clogged with/24s and/27s. If you need portability, use DNS. If you need reliability, use DNS.

Why hasn't a less ignorant dumbfuck Slashdotter said it's "underrated"?
How is this off topic?
Ok, ok, here's a more closely related story:
According to the Journal of American College Health, 40% of college students engage in "binge drinking".
Declan McCullagh's PoliTech list just forwarded a message detailing how Verisign is sending letters to people who own domains through other registrars, attempting to make them change registrar on renewal.
In other news, Microsoft is bundling IE with Windows in order to get people to stop using Netscape.
at which point you can submit a subsequent story:
Cat door causes cat mutation.

you spoke:
This is my last post.
Oh yeah, I guess I lied. Well, I reserve the right to still troll.
Eh, I never said this would be my last post, just that I wouldn't contribute any more. I can still troll :).
Italics is the submitter.
Hmm. Good point. In my haste to rant and rave I must have missed that.
Would you rather the editors alter your words?
I'd rather the editors use their own words, or ones that are at least based in fact, unless it is specifically to point out the flaws in those words.
In any case, I overreacted. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea magna culpa.

All it takes is one idiot, though, to bring down an entire company.
One desktop machine should never be able to bring down an entire company, even if the hacker has full access to it.
quoting just the end != in context
Quoting just the end may or may not = in context. In this case, I didn't take anything out of context. Mozilla is not GPLed.

You're right. I must have been thinking of some other license. Was there an initial version of the NPL which was not free?
