Wrong again, you're obviously trying to cover up the transfers of open source which are complete and total transfers.

Ummm, no. I thought I'd made it quite clear that open source is completely open to everyone, including American businesses. Unlike the Microsoft transfer of technology to the Communists Chinese which leaves American businesses in the dark.

Not everyone in the chicom government has access to view portions of the MS code, only those specifically allowed to have access under specific agreement and circumstances.

During the IBM -> Lenovo discussion, you made it quite clear that you believed that the Chinese Communist government and businesses in Communist China were one and the same. Changing your tune now?

If you really cared about technology transfers to the Chicoms, you'd start with the worst offenders. Obviously not part of your agenda.

And if you really cared about American business interests, you'd be demanding that Microsoft open their source to American businesses like they have to the Chinese Communists.

You know, like Open Source is open to both.

Rather, you'd prefer that the Chinese Communists have a business advantage over Americans.

Good to see that you and Billy G. are on the same page.

What's not so good to see is that you are a traitor for supporting such an act.

I think its more accurate to say he is indifferent. He will say that he wishes it was not so, but he does not care enough to actually condemn MS for doing it..

You, I, and others on this board are consistant in our opinios on the whole GPL, MS, source code and the chicoms, he is not..

Yes, I know, you want all software to be free, for everyone in the world. Got it, long time ago.
