Once again comes from the FSF's Richard Stallman. People interested in software patents should definitily read this and this.
It's a bit sad seeing how often RMS is right and how much abuse he gets from people who can find nothing else to criticize than his style. Yes people, he is very blunt and unbending but that's okay because he is right!
Wait until RMS and Eben Moglen hear about this crap. I can't wait to hear the Free Software Foundation's answer. SCO's in for another kick in the ear...
>Interesting how here on/., when discussing an alternative to MS, the first (and usually only) alternative to be discussed is Linux.
With mucho reason in this case!
>As far as a desktop OS is concerned, Apple's Mac OS X may be far better suited to the task.
Oh really? What the fsck are you talking about? For the Norwegian government - let's stay on topic boys and girls, mkaaay? - that would make absolutely NO sense!
Why, you ask?
Becooooze, not only would they be moving from one proprietary sh*t to another, but they would have to replace all their fsking hardware!
Now that wouldn't be very cost efficient, would it? Plus, even if they did feel the need to change their aging PCs for brand new G4s (which they would pay twice the price of equivalent PC hardware), they would then be stuck with Apple.
Yay! That doesn't seem much better to me than Microshaft!
Oh, and please, don't say that they could always move to Yellow Dog, or something... Please?

And if you agree with copyright, that's exactly how you should call it.
Unless you want to be a dope promoting the big publisher's propaganda.
Once again, the FSF tells it as it is...
