That's the BSD license for ya.

There needs to be a license that says something to the effect of "Anyone
can use/buy/sell/modify/distribute this software with or without source
code except Microsoft."

point made. they're migrating to 2K because 2K is just a
false OS because all MS does is steal the shit from the BSD
platform anyway. think about it. using 2K for mail instead
of FreeBSD? you've got to be kidding. and just where did 2K
acquire this 'amazing' ability to serve up mail/become
remote control/not have to be rebooted. DUH. they stole the
fucking core from BSD and put it in their shit. oh,
wait...i'm sorry...M$ is the leader of innovation.

nice article. it pisses me off.

:)

the only thing good about M$ is they make a decent
GUI...that's it.
