    Would you care to guestimate the cost of training users? Employing linux administrators? converting existing data? Support?

    Relevant quote from the article:
    But it is no disaster; we discard that material and move on. If there is material in Linux that was contributed without legal authorization, the Linux developers will learn what it is and replace it.

  10. Re:Naive To Think This Wouldn't Happen on FreeCraft Cease and Desisted by Blizzard · · Score: 1

    I know that is all true, but I happen to believe that making your first conntact trough lawyers is a wrong thing. They could have conntacted the developers in a friendly manner, and asked to correct the situation, wich I am sure they would have done.
    Hey Blizzard, these people where not out there to destroy you, they where fans of your games.

    Where I come from you don't need to be rich to buy a judge, just richer than your opponent. But we are doing fine for having reaquired our independence mere 12 years ago.

    No it's not, they have a temporary(?) monopoly on distribution of their product (product, not work), but you just can't own something like music -- long live memes.

    I only eat drink natural/bio products that are not genetically altered in any way.
