Thomson Reuters Subpoenas Zotero Hacker Identities
,----[ Quote ]
| Zotero is a fantastic Firefox addon for reference management. Mozilla used to
| ship it as part of Firefox Campus Edition. Recently, they got sued by Thomson
| Reuters because Zotero 1.5 acquired the ability to convert citation-style
| files from their proprietary Endnote software. I have an SVN/Trac account
| there because I contributed a little bit, and I just got this email:
|
| Dear Zotero Development Community Members,
|
| First off, please allow me to apologize for clogging your inbox with this
| unsolicited message, but I hope you'll understand that the severity of
| the situation requires me to contact you. In its ongoing litigation with
| George Mason University, Thomson Reuters has demanded that the university
| produce contact information (name, email, and username) associated with
| all two hundred eighty-six Zotero SVN/Trac accounts.

Memo to Reuters: stop spreading FUD about Novell and Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The British news agency Reuters came up with a sensational bit of
| spin on Friday, US time, claiming that the Free Software Foundation
| could "ban" Novell from selling Linux.
|
| [...]
|
| What then can the FSF do? Why is this misinformation being spread?
|
| As to why misinformation is being spread, the reporter probably didn't
| have a clue about the subject he set out to tackle. "Ban" is a very
| good word to pull readers.
