If by "running unlicensed software" you mean "running software illegally" they'd be wrong.
There is nothing in copyright law that requires licenses. It is quite possible to legally possess and run a piece of copyrighted software without having entered into any license agreement with the copyright owner.

No. In most jurisdictions the city has an easement on the sidewalk, the boulevard, and your half of the street, but you still "own" it.
Until the New Hampshire Supreme Court reverses itself or New Hampshire amends its constitution. There is no court with jurisdiction for the cops to appeal to.

That's not fair use. That's just lack of originality. Fair use is quite a bit more complicated than that, and involves more than the mere size of the excerpt. It's likely that inclusion of a portion of someone else's program in yours is rarely fair use.

I paid them $1000 for a source distribution of their beta version when it first came out. I stuck with them through the lawsuit but their support vanished when 1.0 came out. I dumped them for Slackware and never looked back.

Unfortunately, no. You can ignore a copyright infringement for decades and then suddenly decide to sue.

Isn't dumpster-diving already illegal in most jurisdictions?

What message is that? Don't you find learning another language pretty straightforward after the first half-dozen or so?
Not a transponder despite what they call it.
It doesn't matter what the satellites do. The receivers don't transmit so the satellites can't track them.
There is no such thing.
...but not as in speech (or software). They don't quite get it yet.

The right number to compare this with is the percentage of new Linux servers that used to run Windows.

Why should we be influenced by what some yuppie with more money than brains chooses to hang on his cable modem?
In other words, Mr. Larson's subjects move their lips when they read.
Were they all Microsoft programmers, by any chance?

Doesn't anybody study physics any more?
There are no Debian security mirrors.
(There may be some unofficial ones but you'd be an idiot to use them).
Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of physics knows that there are no effects.

"Open"? Closed source, just like all the others. What a stupid duplication of effort.
This has nothing to do with "BSD is dying".
