Just a few pearls...Just a few pearls...Posted Jun 22, 2005 23:17 UTC (Wed) by bojan (subscriber, #14302)Parent article: The next chapter in the Merkey saga
The socialist... 41. Members of OSS and Linux routinely reverse engineer, misappropriate, or by other means incorporate patented software methods, trade secrets, and other protected intellectual property into their projects under the cause of freedom to innovate, and in support of their socialist views that software should be free and owned by the masses. [...] Go to right-wing sites... 26. [...] Jones is regarded as a right-wing legal reporter for Open Source. [...] 27. [...] These websites are extreme right-wing and, among other things, seem to predominantly promote messages of hatred and violence directed against members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (“Mormons”) , and against business entities who employee, are funded by, owned by, or operated by Mormons. [...] Now directing your attention back to 41 again. The part about "stealing" and such... 41. [...] These activities have resulted in lawsuits and litigation from large computer companies around the world in an attempt to protect their investments in development of computer technology as the result of wide-spread theft of intellectual property by members of OSS and Linux. Got that? Wide-spread THEFT. OK, now what does an outstanding citizen do when faced with this massive theft? Offers to buy stolen property from the thieves for US$50k! Not to mention the fact that Linus alone probably makes that much a quarter on Linux in the form of his salary. Is this the most brilliant piece of legal work you've ever seen or what? ;-)

The juries will find out that he is an expert in "intellectual property" theft, having taken with him so many "ideas" when he left; his peculiar views really count as expert opinion.
