Thats sad, i cant believe Microshit is able to exploit others technology. I guess in this world it will always come down to politics and money. As Mr. Franklin said" there are always two things in life you can count on, death and taxes". I am all for opensrc code, however i think the GPL and opensrc community should change their license to disallow government and large companies from taking the technology and using it for their own profit and or against us. Look at Sun and IBM, they all have their own brand of linux and several are using linux and bsd servers / computers to support their business. They take, take and take but give nothing in return. I say change the license and make them shell out millions on inferior proprietary operating systems such as slowaris.
