In Germany we started an grassroot movement to get Linux in the national parliament's administration. A strong media success by bundestux. Also Linux only was introduced on the server, the movement created some steps in the institution. Media coverage was overwhelming. Microsft paid a PR agency Hunzinger a (6 digit) payment for lobbying against Linux. However Hunzinger failed and caused German Minister of Defense Scharping and Green Party politician Oezdemir to go.
It is very important that you support the eurolinux petition against swpatents.

Just because patents work like a public granted exploitation by accident...
And now Linux even trys to copy the leading operating system...:-) http://www.xpde.com
Oh, Linux is Osama's special weapon;-) And of course KDE as it originates from Europe is dangerous...
Mod Chips are just illegal where they are illegal. So it depends on where you live.

You are no stakeholder of KDE League. We shall you worry about something that is not your business. When Dep writes misleading information I will not follow him. Don't feed the Hypertroll!
KDE League is just an US organisation of the industry. KDE e.V. is a German Verein. Since most KDE developers are from europe they don't care about American business law na bureaucracy.

Why don't they register as a German Verein? Like KDE e.V.? I think that would cause less trouble with bureaucracy.

And Scott McCollum writes his anti-Linux hate reports against slashdot and linux...

Several stories on prior to September 11 on VA Linux(TM) propaganda web site and geek nexus Slashdot (who offered the advice: "Be incomprehensible. If they can't understand, they can't disagree" at the bottom of their web page on October 4, 2001) reported that the European Union would do all it could to destroy Microsoft if the US federal courts owned by corporate America didn't have the guts.
The Free Software Foundation's legal counsel offered an anti-Microsoft/Bush/capitalism diatribe in The Nation while the bodies of capitalist pigs burned beneath the World Trade Center.

You should help to fight against an European DMCA equivalent, campaign see http://swpat.ffii.org
Quoted from http://www.winehq.com/news/?view=122
Has anyone ever said anything good about the DMCA? Don't worry, I won't be the first.
Over the past 9 months Hidenori Takeshima single-handedly worked on recreating the quartz.dll responsible for implementing ActiveMovie and DirectShow. The codecs involved are a huge amount of code that's unfortunately questionable to distribute due to legal concerns. Without warning the code suddenly disappeared from both the X11 and the GPL trees. Questioned about why it was removed, Hidenori explained:
My all MultiMedia codes are completely written from scratch. No disassembling. I believe there are no legal issues. But, I cannot warrant... I should protect myself from any potential problems now...
The main issues for me are
restrictions of EULA - some codes may be based on information from non-VS6. I don't want to battle with EULA.
afraid to many pending patents. I cannot check all patents...
and there are some other reasons I don't want to write...
So, finally, I decided to solicite Alexandre...
Andreas Mohr thanked Hidenori, I hope the reason for taking such rather drastic measures was important. Oh well, anyway, thanks for your contributions, Hidenori ! (I'm just assuming there are still some left;-)
Interesting trivia #2 - Hidenori is the first non-Codeweavers person to expressly not allow his code into the X11 tree.
This Credit nonsense, why doesn't he call Linux GNU, that would be correct. That's a not-invented-here syndrom of Stallman.
He wants to have power and respect, we shall not give it to him but share our code.
It's very funny so watch his dogmatic GNU/Linux nonsense and see him talking abvout linux developers etc.
With the stupid war against terror, things become dangerous. I quote Wolfowitz
Facing that danger, countries must make a choice. Those that stand for peace, security and the rule of law-the great majority of countries in the world-stand united with us in this struggle between good and evil. Those countries that choose to tolerate terrorism and refuse to take action-or worse, those that continue to support it-will face consequences. As President Bush said last Tuesday, "Make no mistake about it: If they do not act, America will." Nations cannot afford to act like those neutral nations 60 years ago, of whom Winston Churchill so acidly observed: "Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last."
So maybe USA will turn right wing. So it would be worse if an american company controlled the market.
Europe cannot stop America in making continuos mistakes, but we can reject proprietary software in governmental use, for strategic reasons. In order to protect our security.

So please stay political! Support FFII and Eurolinux in their fight against SWpatents, not someone who uses the weapon against a supporter.

Germany even funds parts of KDE, the Aegypten project. The green youth calls for a federal free software foundation...

So let us escape to good old Europe...
Stop KDE Bashing! If you prefer Gnome, fine. But don't write hate articles against KDE if your side was inferior. Cui bono?
Double Chocco Latte? Not nice at all but part of GNUEnterprise.
why doesn't he use his popularity to raise some public money to fund projects? The Gov's will invite him and listen carefully.
