What if they leaked news that they were watching the downloads to see what people were downloading, just so people would stop.. out of spite?
It would seem like a really good idea, seeing as how many people have stoped buying cds from the RIAA.
What ever they touch, dies it appears.
It's nothing surpriseing when you look at the source of this irony.
I mean, do you really think they'd miss an opourtunity to get some information out of you?
So they are sueing us for downloading but yet useing the stats of our downloads?
Sounds hypocritical to me..
This really goes to show you that corperations and selfish organizations will stop at nothing to make a profit.
For one.. the fork could be quite good, it could bring about a more rapid development.
But on the other hand, it could also cuase a divide, if the two projects don't stay closely involved, causeing a hell of a lot of problems writing aps.
I'd feel bad for people like KDE devs, who might eventually have to do two completly different versions of all thier software, just to accomodate the fork, and the orginal.
Change is good, but it could also be disasterous.

I don't see why we should be punished for thier stupidity and leaking problems.
