The Big Failure of the FSF
,----[ Quote ]
| Getting people’s attention is even more important than trying to develop a
| free BIOS or a free flash player. The industry offers technology and people
| accept/reject it, this is how things work and this is why having people on
| our side is the way to go (instead of begging the industry for mercy). There
| would be no need to develop a free alternative to the Google Earth client in
| a Free Software-aware society, for example.

Gunning for Tivo in the GPL debate
,----[ Quote ]
| In the ongoing battle between Linux kernel developers and the Free
| Software Foundation (FSF) over the future of the GNU Public License
| (GPL), somehow DVR-maker Tivo has become either the whipping boy or
| the poster child, depending on whose side you are on. FSF founder
| Richard Stallman even coined a term for what he sees as misuse of the
| GPL: "tivoization".
