[chat] cycles in discussions

[Ken Foskey <foskey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think we end up with some cycles in the discussions.  Can we please
resist the temptation to bash the M$ bashers,  this is just about as
bad.

I don't think that those that raised the original link or discussed it
were bashing anyone.  I saw nothing to contradict this, I not be as
perceptive as some though.

I was interested to see this link because it makes me aware that I may
not be able to knoppix CD's duplicated if I need a bulk amount.  I was
interested to see that the SCO litigation is actually having a problem
in the market place.  I cannot help wondering if IBM asked for AIX CD's
to be duplicated then whether this would have been rejected. (Please
lets not enter that whole can of worms.)

The anti M$ biggots resist.  I use and like Windows, I use and like
Linux.  I enjoy seeing those side issues, please keep posting the
interesting ones or the ones that may affect Linux processes like
duplicators refusing to duplicate.

The anti anti M$ bigots resist.  A simple web link to the advocacy howto
might stop inflaming the situation.

I support the right of the duplicator to reject any work they please. 
They are wrong but it is their choice to be wrong.  I support their
stance on actively protecting IP.
