Groklaw: Florian Müller “Sigue Presionando por Microsoft y las Patentes de Software.”

(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: La inmensa máquina de propaganda que trata de envenenar la defensa contra todas las patentes de software está siendo destacada por Groklaw

M ICROSOFT mobbyist Florian Müller[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Florian_M%C3%BCller] sigue en llamas y difama a Groklaw (llamandola "Groklie"), a continuación, sigue quejándose de "censura" y soplar a los llamados "periodistas" a quienes sigue charlando[http://techrights.org/2009/02/13/steve-ballmer-eu-visits/] y/o 'spamming' en masa. Microsoft Müller ha estado utilizando estas tácticas durante mucho tiempo para echar barro en casi todos las entidad que promueven GNU/Linux y software libre (tanto los moderados y los de más principios). El mobbyist, Müller, que ya hace girar la venta de Novell en favor de Microsoft[http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20101118013355936] y al mismo tiempo Groklaw cubre el caso de Oracle Java en contra de Android[http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20101118013355936], los defensores mobbyist .NET / Mono, que es lo que él también lo hace para ganarse la vida (cuando no está haciendo campaña por el dinero, es decir, grupos de presión ). Es decir un verdadero mercenario del siglo XXI.



"Veo que Florian sigue promoviendo Microsoft y las patentes", escribió Pamela Jones, editor de Groklaw, en respuesta a una pieza de The Guardian. Para los que no lo saben todavía, Müller envía correo masivo a periodistas para 'inyectar' su veneno (que se explica esto con más detalles antes y dio muchos ejemplos), así que a veces es posible que uno entre muchos se deslize una cita o un punto de hablar enviado por Müller sin una solicitud real. Müller también envía comentarios duplicados hacia muchos sitios. Este tipo es un empedernido promotor [alias MERCENARIO], al igual que muchos otros grupos de presión. Más recientemente, difundió rumores sobre la CND de Red Hat con Acacia[http://techrights.org/2010/11/16/perens-on-acacia-settlement/], por lo que Bruce Perens los criticó. Simon Phipps muy criticado por ello[http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/simon-says/2010/11/private-agreements-harm-communities/index.htm] y que cosas como esta que el mobbyists tomar fuera de contexto y falsea para embarrar a Red Hat:

"Comunidades dependen de la transparencia y la igualdad. Cualquier cosa que cause miembros de la comunidad a participar en las acciones relacionadas con la comunidad que son de carácter bilateral será probablemente un problema. Por ello, algunos ejemplos:

* La implementación de un estándar que está cubierta por las patentes puede significar que algunos participantes de la comunidad están obligados por los términos de las licencias de esas patentes. Bruce Perens especula que este es el caso de Red Hat y JBoss, por ejemplo. Perens comentarios:

Pero es importante tener en cuenta que Red Hat, como parte demandada, habría tenido que estar de acuerdo para sellar este caso, sabiendo sus socios jurídica en el desarrollo de JBoss, la comunidad de código abierto, sería guardado para siempre en la oscuridad acerca de si sus propias licencias se siendo violados."


Red Hat la embarro, en este caso, pero no debemos dejar que los mobbyists caraduras de Microsoft nos vuelven uno contra el otro. Eso es lo ellos que esperan lograr.




Eduardo Landaveri adds (in English):

Let us keep on unmasking these reactionary mercenaries enemies of freedom & people's sovereignty.

This mercenary pharisee talks about that "communities depend on transparency and equality" what transparency & equality he's talking about when he doesn't want to reveal WHO is paying him. This is HYPOCRISY & CYNICISM with capitals.

I wish I could double myself to help more somehow, that's why I devoted myself to translate regarding the fight against software patents for the importance they have on the future generations. I know there are other fronts & I hope others will stand up on line for the job.

"The best regional defense against software patents is the COMPLETE rejection of software patents"


Or in Spanish:

Tenemos que desenmascarar a estos reaccionarios mercenarios enemigos de la libertad y la soberanía y los pueblos.

Este fariseo mercenario habla sobre que "las comunidades dependen de la transparencia y la igualdad", de que transparencia y la igualdad y que está hablando cuando no quiere revelar quién le paga. Esto es HIPOCRECIA y CINISMO con mayúsculas.

Deseo poder duplicarse a mí mismo para ayudar a más de alguna manera, es por eso que me dediqué a traducir en materia de lucha contra las patentes de software por la importancia que tienen en las generaciones futuras. Sé que hay otros frentes & & espero que otros se pondrán de pie en la línea para el trabajo.

"La mejor defensa regional contra las patentes de software es el rechazo TOTAL de las patentes de software"


Thanks to Eduardo for his translations.
