Jack Messman, the former CEO of Novell, speaks about Linux and Open Source in the following old video. It is worth mentioning that negotiations with Microsoft only began after Messman stepped down (rather passively).
At the time, Novell argued that Jack Messman's departure would give priority to Linux. This exemplifies the meaning of the phrase "Better the Devil You Know (Than the One You Don't Know)".
It's very troubling and a symptom of a broken society/system when particular laws or rules are applied and enforced against some people but not against others
So-called "hey hi" as they define it now is all about large companies or regimes remotely controlling the processes running on your machine and even your very own behaviour on your machine, which is in effect no longer your machine but some remotely controlled apparatus
