Samsung using a free/open source software stack in Blu Ray players

,----[ Quote ]
| I own a Samsung BD-C5500 Blu Ray Disc 
| player:
| 
| In the Support section, it offers to show 
| you the licenses for all the free and open 
| source software they used, which happens to 
| be most of the software on their Blu Ray 
| player, the GPL/LGL software alone 
| includes:
| 
| Linux kernel, Busybox, Binutils, 
| wireless_tools, uClibc, directfb, ffmpeg, 
| smpeg, libgphoto2, libusb, libiconv, 
| libmms.

Samsung Sues Satirist, Claiming Criminal Defamation, Over Satirical Column Poking Fun At Samsung

,----[ Quote ]
| As satire goes, it seems pretty tame (and, 
| really, not that funny). But, Samsung went 
| ballistic, suing Breen, the Korea Times and 
| its top editor for both civil and criminal 
| libel charges. Supposedly, after Korea 
| Times ran a "clarification" that was 
| written by Samsung itself, the paper and 
| its editor were dropped from the lawsuit, 
| but the suit against Breen remains. And, 
| since there are criminal charges, not only 
| could he face hefty fines (perhaps $1 
| million), he might also face jailtime. For 
| writing a satirical Christmas day column. 
| Tough audience.

Samsung doesn't find satirical spoof amusing

,----[ Quote ]
| The South Korean electronics giant's libel 
| suit against a British columnist shows both 
| the power of corporate conglomerates and a 
| different view of defamation, satire and 
| free speech.
