    I call BS, copyright law allows me to because the output of software is not copyrightable, not to mention natural law (whether or not the government wants to recognize it).

    So,

    cat <mickey.iso >mouse.iso

    mouse.iso is not copyrightable?

    originally published in the NY Times on November 22, 2001

    "There was a closeness, but I would not go as far as saying bin Laden was the de facto defense minister," a Western diplomat said. "The Taliban and Al Qaeda were not one and the same." ...

    Documents showed that Al Qaeda was closely integrated with the Taliban Ministry of Defense in the field. For instance, maps of front-line Taliban positions across the country were found in Al Qaeda houses, and neighbors said the men who lived in the houses regularly traveled to the front lines.

    While not a direct link to a quote stating he was officially declared the defense minister (sorry, I don't have decade old news links bookmarked), this does give evidence pointing to the talk at that time of Osama being the Taliban's Defense Minister plus backs that up with the Ministry of Defense and Al Qaeda directly working together. I'm almost positive I read the original association in 1999 or 2000, before Clinton left office, but I could be wrong and it's possible it was in the first few months of the Bush years. It was definitely before 9/11.

    No, in fact you've quoted a source that says "I would not go as far as saying bin Laden was the de facto defense minister,".

    So not only was he not the defense minister he wasn't even considered the defense minister.

    The Constitution is not a suicide pact. Look it up. Those that wish to destroy America do not deserve its protection.

    American is it's constitution. You want to destroy that constitution by ignoring it, so you do not deserve it's protection.

    Sounds like a variant of the Cretan liar paradox to me.

    Nobody said you can use it as you see fit.

    GPL says you can use it as you see fit providing you give the same freedom to anyone you distribute the software (the original, or your modification of the original) to.

    If you find this a great burden then don't use the GPL software and stop whining.

    All that proves is one of the utilities in the distro uses GPLv3. This strikes me as irrelevant, as I could install this under Cygwin on a windows machine and it would not automatically apply GPLv3 to Windows itsel

    That's not the point. If you had gpgv2 on windows you could update it, Windows won't prevent you from doing that.

    If you have gpgv2 on this boxee thingy you can't update it - the tivoisation prevents that.

    That is a gplv3 violation, so they have no right to distribute gpgv2.

    This may or may not apply to other software on the boxee.
