    check me on this. they claim their intellectual property is being used in linux
    if that is proven so, then there are two choices, license it, or remove it.

    once it is removed- they have no issue.. i.e. if I'm using a red circle logo that makes coke uncomfortable, they send me a letter, asking me to stop.. I do so- then coke has no further case/issue-nnless they can prove I damaged them at the time....

    that forced the bells to share, allow them to be Long Distance carriers-- and if that law has been repealed, doesn't that mean they can no longer be long distance carriers? as in- no more verizon long distance?

    merely owning a tablet, and roomba, and webcam to donate (what-1400 dollars at least?) indicates enough disposable cash that the mere existaence of the device is good enough.
