I will agree, admitting it immediatetly is better than some of your other lies, which you have admitted you carried on purposefully for months, but in this case your own link didn't even support your claim LOL.
your lies
Quit changing my words, and twisting the points. Torvalds was raised by communists, and the illegal DVD and MP3 software is typically downloaded from socialist parts of Europe as well. Torvalds was so far out of the loop on this, he claims he wasn't even told it was happening, so don't try to act like he's being properly compensated for all his work, but of course it was his decision to use copyleft verses normal copyright in the first place, one that was terribly foolish whether he's smart enough to realize it yet or not.
It mentioned money flowing both ways and a two-way patent covenant, simple mistake. But you going this route is still a misdirection from your always claiming Linux infringes, while ignoring that Windows is being protected against infringements by this deal too.
Torvalds was raised by communists
True, but your associated insinuation is wholly unsupported. As I said, the second-best lie is the truth, twisted. It's a hallmark of Michael Moore's work. Now you have more in common with both Michael Moore and Stallman than any of us do.
and the illegal DVD and MP3 software is typically downloaded from socialist parts of Europe as well
You're misdirecting again. What does the server location have to do with anything? The issue I brought up is that DeCSS isn't a patent issue as you claimed, but an issue of the industry-purchased DMCA that violates our fair use and first sale rights.
so don't try to act like he's being properly compensated for all his work
Again, what is the cash value of the programming hours that produced the code contributed to Linux by other people? I'm sure it's in the millions.
You also forgot to address DVD Jon's location, that Linus lacks in concern for protecting his work and me supposedly saying where Fyodor lives.
but of course it was his decision to use copyleft verses normal copyright in the first place, one that was terribly foolish
If he hadn't then none of us would have ever heard the name Linux, as Linus' "Freax" OS* would have just remained his little hobby and neither it nor he he would be internationally famous.
* That goes to an earlier lie from you, when you said Linus gave Linux its name.
