Thanks for exposing your motives. So long as *you* can continue to get your free software, you could care less if the chicom government is a greater beneficiary. You run cover for this by attacking closed source vendors, who you'd like to see give everything away to the chicoms as well, so long as you got your own free copy in the process.

Huh? I pay for pretty much every copy of Linux in my office, your constant attempts to paint me as some penny pincher who is penny wise and pound foolish don't hold up against the actual facts, as per usual..

Its not my concern what MS or anyone else does with their IP, I believe first in the right to private ownership because without that everything else it pretty pointless. If Linus wants to use the GPL license, its his material, so be it. If Bill Gates wants to put the code for Windows on a screen that will self destruct after reading it, again thats his right. What I have a problem with is people who claim that the GPL is their terrible thing for America (because someone exercises his human right to own the product of his labor), and give MS a pass for doing nearly the same thing.
Your only point ever made about MS is, oh well what can they do? so who's really giving somebody a special pass here?

Again, Not only do I buy the Operating systems my company uses, we also buy support so stop making yourself look foolish by trying to paint me as something I am not...
