Yes, that's not new. Mary reported this recently, as well. It's the GPLv3
that makes Microsoft s**t its pants. What's more disturning is Microsoft's
endless placements in mainstream media. They tried to create a lot of scare.
There was a huge and coordicated FUD campaign. OSDL's head, Stuart Cohen, is
said to have lost his job after he pitched to Lyons of Forbes, before the
article "The man [RMS} who will kill Linux" showed up. Lyons an infamous
Microsoft/SCO shill that can barely get his stuff published by Forbes
nowadays. He is not alone. O'Gara has already lost her job. ACT does a lot
of the legwork too.
Boycott sites that give room to Microsoft's ant-Linux placements. The media
has hit rock bottom.
