Chinese Green Dam pilfers open source too

,----[ Quote ]
| After claims that China's "Green Dam" filtering app includes code pirated 
| from an American software maker, it should come as no surprise that the 
| People's Republic censorshipware is also using open-source code without 
| displaying the proper license.   
| 
| According to multiple coders at Sourceforge, the Green Dam Youth Escort 
| package - which the Chinese government wants loaded onto all PCs sold within 
| the People's Republic - includes code from the OpenCV computer vision 
| library. But its developer - Jinhui Computer System Engineering - seems to 
| have deleted the BSD license document that should be included when OpenCV 
| code is reused.

A Windows Alternative--PC-BSD 7.1

,----[ Quote ]
| The last time I looked at PC-BSD was way back in 2007. PC-BSD is another
| option for those who want an alternative to Windows but who might not be
| interested in Linux or Mac OS X. PC-BSD is an operating system that is based
| on FreeBSD and uses the KDE desktop. My last experience with it was quite
| positive so I was pleased to see that there's a new version available.
