At ZDNet, Linux is Dangerous and Linux is Also Microsoft

Posted in Deception, GNU/Linux, Microsoft at 1:23 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

ZDNet latest

Summary: Notice how, as of today at ZDNet, “Linux” is actually Microsoft promotion (even where that has nothing to do with Linux) and WSL is promoted, as it’s an attack on GNU/Linux

Free Software is Still Under Attack From Software Patents (GNOME Getting Patent Trolls to Settle Isn't the Real Solution)

We're asked to believe that a sort of "patch" (suggested by companies or monopolies with endless patent portfolios) means that Free software and software patents can co-exist; behind the scenes, however, "community distros" (not developed and controlled by monopolies) are coming under patent attacks which they cannot publicly speak about
