Ya thats nice, but haven't you noticed that open/free wifi is starting to become more and more scarce? If you cant just whip it out at anytime and make a call, its rather limited in its usefulness.
It would be worse then it was when having a cell phone back in the old days when coverage was spotty at best and you were paying for that privilege.
I still have my infomagic cds as well. Got them every quarter, and it sure beat trying to download it all via dialup ( or sneaking into the local college's data center with a box of floppies )
How about a few years before that? SLS ( the first 'real' distro ), Yggdrasil ( paved the way for GUI installers ), or the classic root/boot (with its hex-editing to boot off of IDE ), or even when the kernel wouldn't even self host and you still needed a running minix system..

Since when can you charge for a service pack?
its also illegal to play your car radio loud enough for people to hear it. "Public Performance"
The answer is yes, they will be suing.

There needs to be a rule, one item per bill.
Its no wonder our country is in the tank.
You cant compare the R&D budgets of apple and Microsoft as their product lines are far different.
Microsoft has 1000's of applications across several markets, apple has 100's ( if that ) across a handful of markets.
Its almost like comparing Tesla Motors to GM...
Not here, its becoming less and less common every time i scan.

Then they wouldn't have to release their changes back into the world due to GPL restrictions.. Oh wait, this is Russia.. never-mind.

Money makes things go, and 5% wont make many look.
How about notify their users.
Yes, i know they are a private company, not held to constitutional standards, bla bla bla, but what they are doing is wrong.

They will just be classified 'national security issues' and stuck in a cabinet forever.

Many of us did, back before they were evil. It was way ahead of the others at the time.
For collection sake, i kept my copy of both workstation and server. About the same time i bought a license for Staroffice.

Once anything gets on their radar, its a target. Its how they do business.
Nothing new here.
