I never claimed that the Linux community violates international copyright laws. There are however countless Linux users who believe that all software should be free and part of the "community". I.E. any company not freely giving away licenses to their software is inherently evil. The worst offender being MS (or M$ for these folks) because they have the unmitigated gall to actually make a profit in a capitalistic society.
Now applying that logic to the article at hand I pointed out (sarcastically) that the author should be freely giving away licenses to his copyrighted material. Otherwise the author faces the wraith of the community.
Sorry I find these folks to be rather naive to believe that such a software utopia could exist. Worst yet instead of thanking those who donate their copyrighted material to the world they demand it.
