Linux versus Windows: the eternal discussion
,----[ Quote ]
| Now, many of these arguments are bogus. Looks don’t matter much in
| discussions like these, both operating systems run software the other one
| doesn’t (I don’t care about the Sims, but I do want Openbox), and I’m not a
| nerd. ;)
|
| The one thing that did struck me was how they felt about price. Linux is
| free, and almost all it’s software too? Well, so is Windows, and applications
| can be cracked.

Conclusion: Windows users are usually "criminals", whereas GNU/Linux are free
and law-abiding.

Free Software leader slams NZ copyright
,----[ Quote ]
| “New Zealand’s law does not go as far as the DMCA in the US, but it is unjust
| nonetheless,” he says.
|
| “DRM is nearly always the result of a conspiracy of companies to restrict the
| technology available to the public. Such conspiracy should be a crime, and
| the executives responsible for it should be sentenced to prison.”
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
| Stallman’s other mission here is to promote the Free Software Movement. The
| creator of the GPL licence, under which most free software is distributed, is
| at pains to correct misunderstandings of what the term “free software” means
| and to draw a distinction between it and the open source movement.
