Investigating The Steam Linux Client Continues

,----[ Quote ]
| The Steam Linux client still appears to be 
| heavily in development, but the real 
| breakthrough came on May Day when members 
| within the Phoronix community managed to get 
| the Steam Linux client running up to the 
| point of showing the log-in window. This 
| came after several independent enthusiasts 
| were tracing the calls made by the closed-
| source content delivery program and making 
| modifications to fix certain issues to get 
| the client running further along.

Trend Micro patent claim provokes FOSS community, leads to boycott

,----[ Quote ]
| Eben Moglen of the Software Freedom Law Center is aware of the case, and is 
| considering a patent re-examination request or another intervention in the 
| case.  
| 
| Contacted by Linux.com, Barracuda's Drako acknowledged the array of reactions 
| by saying, "We at Barracuda want to extend our thanks to the tremendous 
| number of individuals who expressed support for our defending the use of 
| ClamAV free and open source software, as well as to the community members 
| that have submitted prior art."    
| 
| If Trend Micro hasn't already, it is about to find out that the case is about 
| free software after all.

Call for action: Boycott Trend Micro

,----[ Quote ]
| Anti virus developer Trend Micro accused Barracuda Networks of patent 
| infringement but what they really did was attacking the users of ClamAV free 
| anti virus software with a bogus patent.
