Yes you are, quite obviously. Microsoft doesn't give every country in the world the right to copy, modify, rename, or resell Windows. Microsoft only allowed some governments the right to view most of their code under strict circumstances, that's it. And they only did it as a response to Linux anyway. You try to complain about Microsoft's response, but ignore the original problem that China LEGALLY takes the latest copy of "Red Hat Linux" and promptly renames it "Red Flag Linux" and "Asianux" and resells it across the world without a dime back to the U.S. They'll soon be doing the same thing to this "Red Hawk Linux", what's to stop them? Maybe they'll rename it "Red Star Linux" since "Red Flag" is already taken.
Due to the extremely large number of inaccurate and idiotic posts you've presented to this point, you are no longer relevant. Thanks and have a nice day.
" Yes you are, quite obviously. Microsoft doesn't give every country in the world the right to copy, modify, rename, or resell Windows."
So what?
"Microsoft only allowed some governments the right to view most of their code under strict circumstances, that's it."
Strict circumstances? Bravo Sierra. They claimed in the DOJ lawsuit than any exposure of their source was a big security exposure - and then let the chicoms see it. Answer my question - are they liars, or are they traitors? It has to be one or the other. Which is it, MS - liar or traitor?
"And they only did it as a response to Linux anyway."
If you think that's why China wanted the Windows sources then you're a bigger idiot than N3wB13 thinks you are. ;)

Actually it's not a problem because Red Hat's license allows it. People buy Red Hat for the support - I don't think there are many US customers of Red Flag. Can you prove different? If it's not a problem for Red Hat, why's it a problem for you? Besides, Linux kernel isn't even a US venture. Linus is from Finland.

Actually no, try reading the article.
