The "Windows World" Doesn't Get FOSS...(or maybe they do)
,----[ Quote ]
| FOSS is nothing but a bunch of Birkenstock-wearing, aging hippies that are
| trying to make one last stand before retiring to a Senior Citizen Assisted
| Living Center.
|
| "Whadda'they gonna do about it...? Pout and hold a demonstration?"
|
| Maybe the people in the "Windows World" simply think they can do just about
| anything with a GPL'd application and then tell us to "shut up and go away"
| when we bring a violation to their attention.
