What Else is New
As Expected, the Bill Gates Propaganda Machine is Trying to Throw/Put Everyone off the Scent of Jeffery Epstein's 'Incestuous' Ties With Gates
Media ownership up on display; it's amplifying false claims for a whole month, whereas truth/correct information gets buried before a weekend is over

[ES] El Kernel de Linux está introduciendo Open Source Privative Software
Linux, el kernel, continúa su trayectoria o el camino hacia convertirse en software propietario de código abierto (OSPS).
Linux Foundation Board Meeting
More sponsored keynotes and tweets — like more sponsored articles (or “media partners”) — aren’t what the Linux Foundation really needs

This Week Techrights Crosses 26,000 Posts Milestone, 3 Weeks Before Turning 13 (2,000+ Posts/Year)
A self-congratulatory post about another year that's passed (without breaks from publishing) and another milestone associated with posting volume
No Calls to "Remove Gates" From the Board (Over a Real Scandal/Crime), Only to "Remove Stallman" (Over Phony Distraction From the Former)
Jeffrey Epstein's connections to Bill Gates extend well beyond Gates himself; other people inside Microsoft are closely involved as well, so Microsoft might want to cut ties with its co-founder before it becomes a very major mess
“The Stupidest [Patent/Tax] Policy Ever”
It’s pretty clear that today’s European patent system has been tilted grossly in favour of super-rich monopolists and their facilitators (overzealous law firms and ‘creative’ accountants) as opposed to scientists

Firm of Microsoft's Former Litigation Chief Uses Microsoft-Connected Patent Lawsuit Against GNU/Linux (GNOME Foundation) for New Breed of FUD Campaigns
The patent troll of Bill Gates and Nathan Myhrvold has fed a patent troll that's attacking GNU/Linux and a firm owned by Microsoft's former litigation chief says it proves "Open Source Software Remains a Target"
"Widespread Adoption" (Did You Mean: Takeover by Monopolies?)
"Quite a few of them are people that would rather replace David with Goliath, just because he's bigger. Quite a few are already taking money from Goliath."

Bill's Media Strategy Amid GatesGate
There are many ways by which to game the media’s news cycle — an art mastered by the groper in chief
Hard-Core Micro-Soft
The word "core" is increasingly being (mis)used to portray user-hostile proprietary software as something more benign if not "open"
Free Software Timeline and Federation: When Free Software Advocacy/Support is a Monopoly Expansion Becomes Necessary
Support for Software Freedom — like support for Free software (think Red Hat/IBM and systemd) — should be decentralised and compartmentalised to make the movement stronger and adaptable
Projection Tactics
The corporate media hasn't been doing its job lately; it has systematically defamed the wrong people, perhaps in an effort to distract from 'big fish'
Meme: Richard Stallman Irrelevant
Saint IGNUcius — Richard Stallman — just isn’t the Saint Bill Gates is

The New York Times About the Real Epstein-Software Scandal (Nothing to Do With Stallman)
The media is belatedly catching up with and covering the real MIT scandal which extends far beyond MIT
Openwashing Reports Are on Hold
The need to stress Software Freedom and shun all that "open" nonsense has quickly become apparent; some of the people who oppose Stallman turn out to be "Open Source" proponents who don't even value freedom of expression (free speech)
Support the GNU Project and Support Free Speech
Techrights is loyal to Software Freedom and those eager to promote it; it cannot, however, support those who don’t support free speech
Today's EPO is Working for Patent Trolls and the 'Aye Pee' (IP) 'Industry' Instead of Science
The EPO is making allegiances and alliances with groups that represent neither science nor businesses but instead push for monopolies, litigation and extortion; lawlessness appears to have become the EPO's very objective instead of what it intends to tackle
The Campinos Car Crash
The EPO is crashing and we know who’s to blame other than Battistelli
Software Patents (or Monopolies on Algorithms) Are Not 'Property' and They're Not Even Legally Valid
The EPO insists that it's OK to grant patents on just about everything and propaganda terms are being leveraged to justify this dangerous attitude
The EPO's Universal Patent Injustice Concealed With Polyglottic Tricks
The EPO is fooling nobody; it's desperate to hide the very simple fact that Battistelli did something illegal and over the past few years every decision issued by the EPO was legally invalid (as per the EPC)
Microsoft Tweets in Linux Platforms
This observation about the Linux Foundation seems very appropriate (and true) now that Linux.com’s sole editor is (re)posting Microsoft tweets (shades of Jono Bacon)
