You're probably the most likely candidate

>"If this involved Windows code and a EULA it wouldn't be titled 'Defender of the Windows Faith'."<

You scream and rail and whine at the thought of someone using MS code. Why anyone would do such a thing is the subject of a psychiatric examination. The code is mostly 30 years old, based on DOS with some stolen VMS thrown in for good measure running on a hijacked IBM HPFS file system. But that is for another day to debate. Then you scream, rail and rant when OSS developers exercise the same copyright protections you so admire MS for using. The hypocrisy of he MS zealots is beyond comprehension.

Of course the anti-freedom MS zealots, such as yourself, would defend pedofiles if they used MS on their machines to solicit children.

What is it you are so pissed about? You MS wienies are discovering the GPL is virtually bullet-proof and now you are afraid of being caught stealing code licensed under the GPL?

Tell us, C.Rapson, how many OSS developers have been caught using proprietary code? I know, its an easy question since the answer is none. The tough question is how many proprietary folks have been caught stealing GPL code. You're anger seems to be two-fold. First, you're dismayed that the GPL has been tested in court and has never been successfully challenged. But you're also pissed the all the years you've been stealing GPL code are going to come back to bite you.

>>>'ABM and 'NBM' flying around like chairs at the Jerry Springer show<<<

yeah. Just go back and count the number of post that are from the 'NBM' crowd. So far I've seen 'wienies', threats of violence, the usual 'linsux' comments and now, you throw your hat in the ring with you imagined scenarios.

The anti-freedom zealots, which you count yourself among, have an almost perfect score of insulting remarks toward the GPL.

Whats really funny is seeing the reaction from the MS faithful when they realize the GPL is bullet-proof, becoming more popular every day and gives the Linux users so much more freedom than the lopsided EULAs you agree to with MS and we get a system that is an order of magnitude more stable and secure than MS and we get if all freely.

Methinks there is a ring of jealousy here. It must really hurt to discover that not only have you been screwed by MS all these years, you also learn everything MS preached to the faithful following is BS. Then, as to pour salt on the wounds, your MS software is so far beyond securing any 13 year old with a computer can crack you box and steal your personal info, well, what MS has not already stolen. Sucks to be an it10t, huh?
