If you don't like CNN, here's a Reuter's link.
To sum up The Free Article, conservative judges dissented which, if anything shows that money works on all parties. The ruling allows local governments to take away land from private property owners and give it to teh corporations if they find it to be for the good of their pockets... er.. the public. I'm sure we can trust that development companies with the same moral remorse as the *AAs will implement a new business model:
1) Grease palms of local gov't officials.
2) Be deemed to need certain land to better the public.
3) Profit.
So I'm reading about NeroLinux, and I figure "hey I have Nero, why not give it a try." So I try to download it and it tells me I need to register my serial ( the third line in/mnt/win/Program Files/Ahead/Nero/NeroHistory.log ). I enter the serial and it tells me that I entered an OEM serial and that I can upgrade it to a full version for $49.99. WTF! Nero came with my DVD burner which I am using under Linux, so shouldn't the OEM license extend to NeroLinux as well? Therefore I have come to the conclusion that we have another money grubbing corporation trying to make a buck off open source.
