Exactly!
And they are the very same hypocrites that use Windows all day long to
earn their living (except for Roy Schestowitz who is still sponging off
his grants and financial aid money) yet claim how useless it is.
They are the very same hypocrites who will follow the money when and if
they ever get a paying job.
Yet they expect others to OSS their software and give away their
intellectual property. With the exception of Mark Kent of course who
believes that their is no such thing as intellectual property.
Key word: Hypocrites.
