Doesn't the US government replace seized website with a notification that the site/domain has been taken down by agency X? Or are there examples where they have actually changed the contents of the site instead of taking it down?
In Tallinn, the ticket inspectors are still there though. And you can get fined if you are a local resident and should ride free, but forgot to "buy" your free ticket by swiping the RFID card in the bus. Even after several court rulings undoing such fines.
However, the idea of free public transport, is not that bad, if feasible. In Tallinn, it used to be heavily subsidized anyway, with only ~20% of the money coming from ticket sales (IIRC). They are also planning to extend this to railways within the city, which are operated by private companies - would definitely make some commutes quicker.
Solving that differential equation analytically (as opposed to numerically) will yield an analytic solution to this problem. Also, accounting for the initial conditions is part of solving an equation. A differential equation itself does not give an answer (neither exact or approximate) - you have to solve it using some method (which can be exact, approximate or numerical).
The right hand side of the closed form solution might also include integration (eg if there are some integrals which cannot be represented using elementary functions), infinite series etc and it would still count as an analytic solution (although I suppose it depends on the exact definition of "analytic solution"), even though evaluating it for some particular point in time (in this particular case) can not be done exactly (you would have to numerically evaluate the integrals etc).
Granted, as has been pointed out, GP has not provided us with an analytic solution to that equation.
Calibre developers chose (either consciously or through ignorance) the GPL licence, which means free as in free speech. Nobody should be able to distribute programs based on the Calibre code without also releasing the source. Hamstersoft software, however, is free as in free beer (since they don't distribute sources, claim there are trade secrets in their software etc.).
According to that article, that particular case had nothing to do with Google's patents. It was in fact company called Traffic Information that sued several companies producing web street maps.
Google became involved when Traffic Information notified T-Mobile that Google Maps traffic feature was infringing their patents.

Actually: ©2013 BitTorrent, Inc. uTorrent is a trademark of BitTorrent, Inc.
It is interesting though that develop two different clients and do not advertise uTorrent on their main site.

Different kinds of free though.
