But MS selling it to them is ok?
Giving it to them for free, as you endorse, is the highest possible infraction. +++++++++++
Say it Iggle: "MS (among others)is wrong to participate in helping China to suppress the free speech of their citizens, which is a God-given right." It puts them on the same moral plateau as linux - if you think John Walker was more moral than Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
Not if I had my way. Do you have ears, or not? Conversely, your admitted position is, Microsoft or anyone can do anything with their property they want, including give it away to the chicoms for free, so the chicoms can then do anything they want with it. All they have to do is license it under the GPL license, and you're pleased as punch. Don't try to deny it now, either, we already knew and you once again admitted it on here, you fully support the GPL and these free and legal technology transfers. Not just to China, either, but to ANY totalitarian regime there is, without restriction, or concern of what they use it for. That's what the GPL is all about, as you are fully aware.
