but in this case your own link didn't even support your claim LOL.

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.

True

Obviously, simply proves you like to falsely attack me whenever Torvalds communist upbringing is cited.

What does the server location have to do with anything?

It obviously has to do with the law, and why the Linux distributions don't include the illegal code to begin with. Playing dumb isn't helping you, it just further exposes your leftist intent. Not that it's not already blaring out loud LOL.
