As a matter of fact, Google stopped their efforts for several monthes in the summer, giving publishers a time to compile a list of books they do not want placed in the archive.
The publishers have actually complained that this is unfair because it places the burden on them. Of course, from Google's perspective, who should they contact if the holder of a copyright is out of business or dead?
I've seen way too many people arguing that forking is like the process of evolution.
It's quite simple. While there is tremendous diversity amongst life on this planet, the difference in DNA between a human and a bacteria is 10% or less. Add to that the basic fact that all DNA works the same way, using the same kinds of carbon chains.
Forking like BSD and AT&T isn't the same thing as evolution because the incompatibility barriers raised are more like like group abdoning ATCG. And that's before you even get into considering different hardware, something bioligically akin to if we found life that wasn't organic.
The kind of compatibility here simply doesn't do a good analogy with evolution.

In old Oxford, they complain about killing natives. In old Soviet Russia, complaints get natives killed!
