    With a big amount of sigh I've read about so-called copyright violations the Linux-community is doing.

    Where to start declaring my problems with this "article"? Well it is explicit NOT neutral written, even starting with the title "How Linux Community Steals Proprietary Assets". Does the author recognize the community just as a homogeneous group or is every project itself responsible? Judging from the entitlement: FLOSS and FOSS are even the same. Besides this first and real big failure the complete article is just full with more wrong information masked as "facts". What about the difference between FOSS and FLOSS? Wrong names like "Warzone 2010"? In fact the project is named "Warzone 2100". And all the links should be proof of what exactly?

    So much about another real good example of research presented in the wrong way, besides I would not say that the author is lying. And why not helping those projects on the list when there are real problems with the copyright of graphics, sounds or music? Just pointing with the finger doesn't help. But even though the article starts with a big amount of victim mentality, blaming some anonymous mass of users and furthermore everyone else using FLOSS or FOSS. Should I say "Thank you!"? Or should I bothered about the rude tone not helping at all? Well I think it's just another example for the communication-problems and generalizing accusations.
