#2 Re: Life's EULA and the Ownership Society Posted by glanz (74.13.xx.xx) on Wed 7 Feb 2007 at 02:47 Thanks! I just had to throw that rant out there. Every day I am bombarded with some more outrageous news from the US usually, proving that point. It's all about greed, about possession and control. A small example: recently, the University of Alberta here in Canada found a very promising drug than control and eradicate cancer. http://www.expressnews.ualberta.ca/article.cfm?id=8153 http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn10971 But there's a problem. They "Open Sourced" it. Now no American controlled drug company in the world will touch it because they can't patent it in the "Ownership Society"... In fact, if they can't steal it or prevented it from being made, they will use any means to have it distributed. So the moral of this story is that there is a real battle going on in the world, not against Bush's "Evil Ones" and the angelic and brave battle-ready American military, but rather between outright pigs and non-pigs. Between proprietary everything and free soft and free will. This affects everything Free Software, Freedom in general, and especially freedom to life, speech, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not necessarily in the form of a job at McDoh! or two cars in the garage for the more affluent. ~(,~,`>
