... That's not what I said. If you'd read further, you'd have seen the discussion of the Linux kernel. There's nothing about that discussion that is limited to...
I see nothing special here about the operation of open source in the case where someone's rights were abused. Both open and closed source licenses have ...

... It hasn't been resolved yet, but it also hasn't been an issue, either. I was talking strictly about IBM. ... That's possible; however, whenever the subject...

In the interest of once again stirring this pot :) , Oh , sorry that's what I'm responding to :)) It has to be fair to say that Peter has a strong interest in ...
Roger, I believe you are misrepresenting the exchange from which you've extracted my posting. The full post was: ... How about $4500 per year for three years...
