I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to be underhand. I was just linking to a story I thought slashdotters would be interested in (which I found, and added to Tekcentral). If I wanted to hide it was the site I'm admin at I would have used a different nick and not put tekcentral.org as my url. Shird, that is why I put the ip, and I didn't mean to make it sound like I stumbled across the news article. I guess it kind of came out wrong though.
What Cnet neglected to mention was that the hardware in this Simputer is actually licensed under the SGPL (which is inspired by the GPL). I wrote an article about it here. But is it right what they're doing with the license? Should they give complete freedom like the GPL? or would that not work with hardware?

It should read since June 2002, I guess the start date is mucked up :)
