Sorry if this has already been gone over here, maybe somebody could send
me email if this is out of place.
This big ruckus with the aids software that was sent all over the country
recently was apparently done by somebody with lots of cash. On the news
they told the story, and ended with the warning, "So stay away from all
free software".
It just seems that the primary motive behind this is descrediting free
software, and the FSF is the largest group in this field. Also a lot
of companies have a vested interest in promoting the "danger" of public
domain type stuff.
Any comments (or am I banished to alt.conspiracy where such stuff should
be, but an ongoing talk.bizarre.snuggles.bear has staged a coup and taken
over the group :-))
