IBM should take to calling it Cloudframe. Because everything needs a cloud based marketing spin.

I got that impression as well. In at least one video you can see the arms of a protester swinging at a cop before they pan over to show the officer grabbing and subduing them. Just because you yell "this is a peaceful protest" does not make it one.

I'm not saying that there's not overly aggressive cops involved, just that the story is being skewed in both directions.

Thanks for the all past years of loss in productivity and good luck.

"Netflix provoked an unprecedented outpouring of backlash across the Internet ..."

Really? I'm pretty sure the Internet is a small toddler who throws fits when it doesn't get it's way. Not every backlash can be unprecedented, nor is this the first time people got vocally (in a sense) angry at a company. The loudest crowd is not always the majority.

I'm sorry to hear that you have one developer raising a stink. The GPL doesn't have any restrictions against charging for distribution. Hell, even Stallman used to charge to distribute GNU utilities and it was more than just the cost of shipping (time + media + shipping).

Or yet another example, Wolfenstein 3D was ported to the iPhone by ID Software. Keep in mind that this piece of software has been available as GPL'd source code for a number of years. ID Software didn't go back to the virgin code either, they found an open source project which had done a number of modifications, re-hacked it and then sold it on the Apple store. The source code for the iPhone app is available for download at no cost.

You've obviously had to lay out some money for the developer license and spent a fair amount of time on the port, so I don't think charging a couple of dollars violates the letter or the spirit of the GPL.

Now if you'd kindly get to work on porting NetHack to the iPhone, it would be appreciated.

You're full of it. How many times are you going to make this bullshit post and anonymously to boot?
