| If you're planning to load up on Dell?s new Ubuntu Linux systems

The straw men of open source

| The straw man in this case is the Microsoft-led argument that using
| Linux carries patent risks. It doesn't. But signing on to the idea
| that it might is like my running bet that I'll die next year. It's
| insurance.

| Shortly after yesterday's announcement from Dell, a posting appeared
| on its IdeaStorm suggestion box web site, entitled "Don't imply
| Microsoft IP in Linux".
|
| "I would like Dell to make an official statement that they do not
| believe there is any Microsoft intellectual property in any of
| the distributions of Linux they offer," the poster, mhall119,
| wrote.
|
| It was receiving about 100 votes per hour during the day
| yesterday. Dell's Lord said he had not read the suggestion
| and declined to comment on it.
