| He is largely responsible for the

GNU/Linux: The Name Game
,----[ Quote ]
| I want to make things easier for them to
| understand, not more difficult. I feel
| that I am not doing anything wrong; when I
| choose to call Microsoft Windows Vista
| "Vista" I am not doing a disservice to
| Microsoft. Nor do I do a disservice to
| Canonical by calling Ubuntu "Ubuntu." A
| great many people and groups have to come
| together to make any particular operating
| system, particularly community-created
| ones, and credit for success should go to
| each and every one of them.

So, what exactly is a Freedom Outlaw?
,----[ Quote ]
| A Freedom Outlaw is (loosely) somebody who
| cares so much about freedom that he or she
| will go after it regardless of any laws or
| regulations blocking the way. Will go
| after it personally. Not petition for it.
| Not write letters for it. Not vote for it.
| But GO for it.

FSF: Apple's iTunes Store terms of service at odds with GPL
,----[ Quote ]
| The Free Software Foundation is up in arms
| over Apple's iTunes Store Terms of Service,
| suggesting that these terms fundamentally
| conflict with the terms of the GNU Public
| License. The foundation has warned Apple
| that a version of GNU Go distributed by the
| App Store makes Apple liable to comply with
| GPL terms that allow free sharing of code,
| but warned that its "Usage Rules" violate
| those terms. The fallout could potentially
| affect any app that uses GPLed code.
