Not if Adobe et al all go after Eolas for their legal fees....I'm sure that they'd be happy to relieve Eolas of their ill-gotten gains.

Oh yeah, whip out the racist card...

...whenever anyone disagrees with a black man. Is that how it works?

But he's half white, too. Funny how both sides gloss that part over.

I don't say the election was rigged, in the sense of stuffed ballot boxes and the like. But the media sure did their best (and it was good enough) to rig the vote, simply by waving the "You're a racist if you don't vote for the Articulate Black Guy" flag all over the place.

I think he sucks, not for his race, but because he policies are uninformed, badly executed, and just as full of concessions to the special interests on his side as any other politician.

Oh, one more thing, the statute of limitations for blaming President Obama's incompetent attempts to correct the US economy on President Bush's mismanagement (under a democratic Congress, but let's just forget that too, ok) has passed. Please move on, nothing more to see there.

...you are allowed to charge whatever you like for the program, or give it away free of charge. You may only charge a nominal fee for supplying a fee of the source, ie: $1 for the DVD/CD, maybe $5 for copying and a reasonable shipping method.

I personally never charge for Linux, but I do charge for the time to wipe/backup/install and configure the system.

So it's not so much accidental

as it is "Plausible Denialbility" then.

I'm sure other companies do the same, but that just seems smelly to me.
