LOL you were the idiot claiming no such thing had ever happened. LMAO again.
No, I said there was no precedent--so legally they don't exist--as far as case law is concerned.
The actions are current; they cannot exist in case law until after the trials--which as I said start next year.
Clearly you know absolutely nothing about computer security, *nix, and law.
GE,
I have patiently read this entire thread from beginning to end, and I must tell you that your behavior, Sir, is that of an entirely unbridled penis with ears. You exhibit the rhetorical agility of a damp soapdish and all of the social grace of a battleship in a bathtub.
Whereas everyone else in this thread has posted material that constitutes "opinion" and "debate", and whereas many have also gone to the extent of posting "examples" demonstrating the foundations of their statements in real world fact, you, by contrast, have consistently mocked, maligned, hectored, and heckled with overbearing assertions nearly wholly devoid of factual backup.
You are not arguing, Sir, you are, quite frankly, "compensating". Poorly.
We collectively wish that you were, in fact, 1/10th of the "man" that the braggadocious nature of your posts strives to imply, at least then you'd be okay enough with yourself not to take your inadequacies out on other posters to these threads.
I'm sorry to seem so harsh, but give it a rest; if for nobody's sake but your own.
And you're the idiot claiming that all kinds of stuff is happening or about to happen, and then being silent when asked for proof.
Again, please provide evidence that:
1)People who work on open source projects do so at the expense of their employers, and...
2)That there is a "mass" of lawsuits coming against OSS. To do that, you'll need to provide more than one example.
