Fools are those that support foreign clones over American originals, especially when they're backed by leftists.

"Fools are those that support foreign clones over American originals, especially when they're backed by leftists."

a) Linux is not a "clone" of unix.

b) Linus Torvalds lives in the US and has for several years.

c) Linus is no more a "leftist" than many wealthy industrialists and their heirs in the US. Do you refuse to use Heinz Ketchup too?

d) How are you "supporting" anyone when they are giving you the software for free and allowing you to do anything you want with it (except to modify it and sell the modified executable without also making the modified source available).

Game, set, match. You lose.
