"They are attempting to convince Clarke, Chair of the President's that licensing terms such as "those in the GNU or GPL" are restrictive, preclude innovation, improvement, adoption and establishment of commercial IP rights."

I am annoyed by this and so should you be, its totally stupid and i would if i was an american get this new bill destroyed.
Its total lunacy.

What skool do you goto muffin man? I am guessing college b/c all the HS around where i live dont teach quantum chemistry. I think i might need to get my skool to organize a field trip to go fight this though

Mmm...field trip. Sounds like fun.

They used to do field trips to DC and Boston, but budget cuts...

Sadly, when I first learned quantam chemistry (basic), I was in 10th grade. NY sucks in some areas   (http://tongue.gif)

And the fact that we have all this extra wilderness full of animals that almost no one lives in(not even including the frozen parts!).

Hey there is someone else on your side, Stallman. He could not let his empire be shattered. You can only make so big a fuss before the media starts to notice. Stallman, Torvalds, FSF, EFF etc. It's a war of words just waiting to happen!  :D
(and all combined assests should allow plenty of campaign money)

In Canada, at least they know what "there" and "they're" mean, and how they differ (HINT HINT -- IN "THERE", THERE'S A "RE" AFTER "THE", AND THERE'S A "Y'RE" AFTER THE "THE" IN "THEY'RE").

And it should be "eskimos", not "eskimo's."

Also, where exactly is "Austrlaia?"

Edit: I am now a famous web annoyance.

I'm sure your small, useless Australia brain can't comprehend that not everyone in Texas are stupid rednecks, or the fact that YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CAN'T FUCKING SPEAK ENGLISH. I'm not the retard here who doesn't know the differences between "there" "their" and "they're." Please, next time, try thinking, moron.

"Fuckin Americans", huh? Hey, want to know a secret? Your favorite website, Fuckmicrosoft.com, is hosted in the U.S, and Red-Hat is a U.S company. Furthermore, without the U.S, your little piece of shit of a country would be worth NOTHING - not like it's worth much now.

And for the record, I'm not American, prick.

True, I live in the U.S. BUT I wasn't born there.

I only lived in the U.S for about three years, and only because my dad's company dragged me here.
