FOSS?

Is IBM actually charging for the software, or is it charging for the technical support?

It's okay if Canonical gives away Ubuntu, but does have paid technical support, but it's not okay if IBM does it?

As long as the software itself is available for people to download and self-support, then charging for "expertise" is acceptable, after all, the supporters have to eat and raise families too, right?

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
