Al Gore?
"You can use this software and not worry about us suing you."
You just can't look at that sentence and not think the whole industry needs to be torn down and rebuilt on new principles. Whether it's the fact that Microsoft and Novell are glad to make such a proclamation, or the fact that someone can be sued for using software to begin with, or the fact that I can get sued by company Y for using company X's product or even if that isn't possible the fact that anyone might think it might be possible.
What kind of industry is this? I think I just grew a gland that secretes RMS ideology in my brain just from digesting that headline.
Right. Get off slashdot. Now. Thank you.
Yes, especially considering how much cold hard cash the Taliban are throwing at advanced weapons research.
I see your point. But think about this: if Google or Bing were filtering English language results at the request of the American government, would you be happy to swap over to Mandarin?
Not to a gentoo user it isn't.
Except you actually got it wrong.

But for that matter, Linux doesn't have MS Office only because it's desktop share is next to nothing (not the same amount atleast, there are Linux office suites out too). Mac OSX has been getting more and more office suites lately as it's marketshare has been growing. So would Linux aswell if it ever gained more users.
As long as the OS isn't completely locked down from the user, there will be office suites. Windows, Mac, or Linux cant defend you from that. But none of us really want a locked down OS. And as long as the users are stupid their computers will get infected.
It's just about the marketshare.
