Another intersting choice of words, which I came across this afternoon:

"The way the license (GPL) is written, if you use any open-source software,
you have to make the rest of your software open source," Ballmer explained
to an excessively credulous, un-named Sun-Times reporter who, predictably,
neglected to question this bold assertion.

It is, of course, a deceiving lie (disinformation).
