Someone should forward these lies and misrepresentations to the
companies Roy is slandering. He seems to talk a lot about libel - lets
see how it is when the boot is on the other foot.
It really is not good advocacy to simply slander and lie to the extent
Roy does these days. Is he losing the plot?
And *what* is with his little smart "notes" in brackets. They make ZERO
sense. e.g
>> They can give lots of stuff for free (or bribe companies like Novell and

Since when is "dependency" the same as "viral"?!?!?!?!?!?
