Linux piracy?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This is starting to get interesting. Is there proprietary Unix code inside of Linux and are all Linux users pirates?

It should be fun to watch though. I mean any company that would knowingly compare themselves to the recording industry is just looking to get ridiculed online, isn’t it?

    Yeah it’s back to work this afternoon after spending a wonderful morning learning about Microsoft Licensing. Aren’t I lucky to get to do that? There was some positive out of it though, while I was in their office, they had a bunch of demo software laying around, so I got a copy of just about…

    As a personal note, since I just arrived back in the office from a visit to the eye doctor, and the ordering of new glasses for my new prescription, find a job with vision coverage! 🙂 Seriously, just a small tweak to my prescription was needed, to try and account for the fact that my…
