MS-funded think tank propagates open-source lies (Register)
The Register
writes about
the study by the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, which claims that
open-source software aids terrorism.
"
Much
to our disappointment, the organization's press release, which last week
promised that the study would explain in gory detail how open-source software
will foster international terrorism, turns out to have been a tissue of
headline-pimping lies.
Indeed, the paper never mentions terrorism at all.

"the press release ...[was]... a tissue of headline-pimping lies" Posted Jun 10, 2002 22:30 UTC (Mon) by AnswerGuy (guest, #1256) [Link] Yeah, Baby! That's telling it like it IS!I just hope that this observation will be echoed throughout the rest of the media; and that reporters in all reputable news organizations will remember this when reading future ADTI "press releases."
