I thought TIVO was not just using OSS, but was using GPL'd software and one of the points in the GPL was that you had to distribute the code if requested AND be able to modify it and use it on the device. Assuming GPL v2.1, how is TIVO not in violation of 0.6.b.2: "will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with." If there is a kernel check that prevents your code from operating, how is that not in violation?

"Journalist are there to report, not support." Typical. I love it when freedom loving right wingers get on their high horse and tell everyone how the world is supposed to work. I love how quickly they give up on their free market ideals when things don't go their way. If you think the press has EVER been unbiased, you need to study history a little closer. Also, if you don't "know Obama" at this point, you are just stupid. Not just ignorant to history, but really stupid. About the only think you can't know about him is what he is actually thinking inside his head. If that is how you judge whether you know someone, maybe you should give yourself a test: Did you know McCain was going to pick Palin? Did you know McCain was going to suspend his campaign? Do you know how often McCain goes to church? Do you really "know" McCain?
