Good for relaxing from time to time. Moglen is a first rate clown. > > >What qualifies his word alone as "legal authority"? > If what he says resonates with the judges then he IS a legal authority, Give me a break. Moglen's track record in court of law is quite telling. He was on a losing side of the argument (assuming arguendo that his brilliant bullshit rap could possibly contain any arguments) on each and every appearance in court of law, AFAIK. Oh, BTW, http://www.newsforge.com/software/03/10/30/1927210.shtml%3Ftid%3D150%26tid%3D151%26tid%3D82 "I believe that the legitimate problems of the free software community and the equally serious problems of the parties who are concerned about the regulatory consequences of their product designs are being studied in the appropriate way by all parties. " How nice. And the GPL section 4 simply doesn't apply because "problems are being studied", I guess. "It is well known that the Free Software Foundation does not hold copyright in the Linux system kernel program. " Liar. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/sco/sco-v-ibm.html "The Foundation notes that despite the alarmist statements SCO's employees have made, the Foundation has not been sued, nor has SCO, despite our requests, identified any work whose copyright the Foundation holds-including all of IBM's modifications to the kernel for use with IBM's S/390 mainframe computers, assigned to the Foundation by IBM--that SCO asserts infringes its rights in any way." regards, alexander. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
