 Put in a different angle, big massive cos that want copyright laws to
force everybody to pay them for their "property" and if let gone their
way would suffocate the whole "Open Source" movement, appart for such
small things like "Human Rights" ....

 ... that want to squeeze the last drop of profits, and they are only
using Linux for that, I wish they did the same with all the rabbish
"highly polluting parafernalia made in 3rd world countries" ...
