Story: Linspire Linux deal 'worse than Novell'
Follow the Money
I think we need to know who owns Linspire, and who has influence over the finances of Linspire. In other words follow the money. Does this trail lead to Microsoft? I would have thought that it is now clear, even to the most apathetic, that Microsoft have an agenda and are vigorously persuing that agenda.
Addtionally, since the upcoming version of Linspire is based on Ubuntu, and Ubuntu is collaborating with CNR, I think Canonical should challenge this deal vigorously since it is apparently a clear and unambiguous breach of the GPL and it is Ubuntu's Software that is being most directly abused by this breach.
The Open Source Community and the supporters of Open Source have now been given a clear wake up call, beyond all doubt. Wake up before it is too late!
