Given everything that happened to #RedHat under #IBM’s control, it makes me very uneasy that #Microsoft owns #GitHub… I pessimistically predict this will be the next big blow to #OpenSource that we’ll have to recover from.
@fedora “…If not, and it’s something people will absolutely love, I hope it will be implemented for all your paying enterprise customers also. After all, I’m sure you’d hate for folks to think you believe corporations deserve privacy whereas people don’t. I have no doubt it will go down great with large corporations (they love profiling people so I guess that means they’d love getting profiled too, right? Unless they’re hypocrites, of course).”
@fedora “If this is a feature you believe people want, make the toggle switches off by default so folks can excitedly tell you how much they want to send data to Fedora/Red Hat/IBM.
Also, is this a feature in Red Hat Enterprise Linux?
> On top of all this, IBM has materially misled its investors, falsely representing in its securities filings that a third-party owns all of the Unix and UnixWare copyrights, and that this third-party has waived any infringement claim against IBM. IBM mischaracterizes in its securities filings a prior court ruling that found old Unix and UnixWare code, created before September 19, 1995, belonged to the third-party. IBM’s filings make it sound like the third-party was found to own all Unix and UnixWare code. These statements are demonstrably false. In fact, with regard to Xinuos’ code created after September 19, 1995, and which IBM stole, Xinuos owns that code, has never entered into a license agreement with IBM, and has never waived its infringement claims against IBM for stealing that code.
I saw a rumor that the case is ending, but I have not been able to verify it.
I'm wondering whether the end goal of the people behind #Xinuos is to get #IBM to purchase their company, since they're obviously not able to maintain and market their "OpenServer 10" and "OpenServer X" products.
