Weblog:   Is Linksys shirking the GPL? (Maybe not.)
Subject:   autoconf and an itchy trigger finger
Date:   2003-07-31 08:39:32
From:   anonymous2
Let's all bash SHO for yelling about an unproven violation of rights, then start bitching Linksys out when someone doesn't know how to use an autoconf'd package.


I hope this posts clearly -- Damned O'Reilly not having a preview option makes this a gamble...

    Make that SCO. I'm retarded.

    ...but not retarded enough to publicly bash Linksys without more than a slight hunch.

    On O'Reilly's website, no less.

    I guess that's why O'Reilly probably had editors look over your books before publishing them -- so they could filter out unfounded crap such as this.
