'No business with the Chicomms at all' has been my position all along, and is EXACTLY why we always disagree, since your full time mission on here is open source, meaning all the free software the Chicomms could want.
Or are you now suddenly saying your position has gone from full time Linux pusher to finally realizing they take free copies of Red Hat and rename them "Red Flag"? All legal and free of charge of course.
I doubt it, since all you boys ever do is snicker every time it's pointed out, like there's something funny about it. Then try to bash Microsoft for selling software instead of just giving it away like you prefer.
No it hasn't. You like to give that lip service, but some other posts show that you think it's perfectly fine as long as MS makes money off it.
For instance, your quote "As for Microsoft, their behavior is now deplorable too, but what other options are there?" indicates that it is perfectly acceptable to do business in China since you don't see any other options.
There have been others, but that is the most recent example.
