Stallman attacks Oyster's 'unethical' use of Linux (ZDNet) Posted Jun 9, 2008 20:29 UTC (Mon) by jake (editor, #205) [Link] > Yes, so why is this posted here? Because I thought some of our readers would find it interesting? The ZDNet headline is bad, but the topic itself is important, at least in my view. YMMV, jake
Stallman attacks Oyster's 'unethical' use of Linux (ZDNet) Posted Jun 10, 2008 17:03 UTC (Tue) by zooko (subscriber, #2589) [Link] I'm a long-term paying subscriber to LWN.net, and I'm very interested in issues of freedom and openness. Wholesale, automated, centralized surveillance is an issue which is deeply technical and is also causing profound effects on our society. As far as I am concerned, please feel free to continue posting such articles on LWN.

The rms connection was certainly enough of a hook to justify posting this to LWN (says I, a paying subscriber); I see less pertinent crap posted to Slashdot hourly. And it's worth noting that USAdian toll-pass systems have the same problem; it's generically referred to as Mission Creep, and being on the lookout for it is a generally useful thing to do.
