Bonum Certa Men Certa

ES: Michael McLoughlin, Kevin McBride, y Florian Müller

Demonios Comunes, Objetivos Comunes

Meeting



(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: Se ha encontrado una conexión suelta entre los impulsores de SCO, el personal de Microsoft, y Microsoft Florian.

Microsoft no puede competir con Linux, por lo en lugar está tratando de destruir Linux. Microsoft Florian[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Florian_M%C3%BCller] ayuda a 'tirar un SCO utilizando mentiras en este momento [1[http://techrights.org/2011/01/22/boosting-vista-phony-7-with-lies/], 2[http://techrights.org/2011/01/25/europe-faux-campaigners/], 3[http://techrights.org/2011/01/23/distorting-google-truths/]], y alguien ayudó a encontrar una conexión entre él, Microsoft, y el hermano abogado de Darl McBride, Kevin McBride, que hace unos meses también ayudó a "tirar un SCO" por falsos créditos [1[http://techrights.org/2010/07/27/financier-of-antitrust-attacks-on-linux/], 2[http://techrights.org/2010/07/20/suppressing-sco-discussion/]]. De de todos modos, aquí está el comentario de interés:



Mueller: €¿Cuál es Su Relación con el Sr. McLoughlin?

Pregunta directa a F. Mueller, por favor describa su relación con el señor de MSFT M. McLoughlin:

Hice una gorra de pantalla en febrero de 2010 de los amigos de Twitter de Kevin McBride (el hermano abogado de Darl McBride SCO).

Tenía dos amigos: (Florian Mueller) y McLoughlin de Microsoft.

La bio McLoughlin es la siguiente:

Michael McLoughlin. McLoughlin es:

* Director, Empresa Mercados de la Oficina de Relaciones Estratégicas en Microsoft

* Miembro de la Junta at Open Informática Alianza


Es curioso, por decir lo menos. Pamela Jones también expone una teoría en Groklaw[http://www.groklaw.net/comment.php?mode=display&sid=20110122054409107&title=Not+necessarily&type=article&order=&hideanonymous=0&pid=897700#c897746]:

Entonces, €¿no es al menos posible que Microsoft montó un operativo para deliberadamente envenenar el pozo?

Si yo fuera Florian, yo pondría a cabo un artículo sobre el tema, pero siendo yo, gracias a Dios, Voy a señalar que debemos estar alerta para tales trucos.

Por cierto, veo Florian ha publicado una solicitud para obtener información de la comunidad acerca cualquier infracción que encuentren en sus proyectos, prometiéndoles anonimato. En primer lugar, nadie en la la comunidad responderá a su petición, estoy seguro. Sospecho que él lo sabe también, sólo de la lectura de los comentarios en Slashdot y aquí. Por lo tanto, tengo una sospecha de que esto es sólo una tapadera para las futuras "Revelaciones" de Florian, y que se negara a identificar su origen con la excusa de que esta protegiendo sus fuentes. Pero, en realidad, no sería otra cosa que la tapadera perfecta para alimentar a los medios privilegiadamente en realidad le entregaran informacion por empresas propietarias que desean deshacerse de Android?

Sólo pregunto. Me di cuenta de que él afirmaba que era un tipo en Twitter quien le habló de la presentación alemana mostrando quienes componen CPTLN. Pero la persona desapareció el mismo día de Twitter. Sin embargo, en el Internet, todo deja migas. Así que las seguí. La persona que presuntamente le entregó la información, había un personaje en línea como el tipo que le escribió sobre un solo tema en línea que podría encontrar: un equipo de fútbol particular en la Florida.

Ahora, usted me dice. €¿Qué tan probable es que se trata de que el hombre encontró una esotéricamente la presentación legal en Alemania y luego le dijo a Florian al respecto?

Me parece que la historia es imposible de aceptar, sobre todo porque he tratado de seguir el hombre en el espacio real, y fué imposible.

Así que aquí esta mi hipótesis de trabajo: alguien que piensa que sería una gran idea, ya que las partes en juicios normalmente no puede hablar con seguridad litigios en público, tener un "hijo de Groklaw" - una imitación de lo que lo hicimos, pero para el lado propietario, y al igual que esos tipos suponen, erróneamente, que Groklaw fué pagada para ser su portavoz público, por eso contrataron a Florian quien pretender ser sólo un blogger que casualmente está interesado en estos temas.

Es una teoría divertida, de ser cierto. Y si de ser cierto, con el tiempo se conocerá, en cuanto a si es o no cierto.

Pero Florian, como vemos en este caso reciente, se encuentra sobre su cabeza. Además, como dice la canción, "no hay nada como la cosa real." Y él no tiene el beneficio de una comunidad de programadores para ayudarlo, como lo tenemos nosotros. Incluso los medios de comunicación no va a encontrar su obra útiles a través del tiempo, si alguno de ellos todavía creen que en una palabra de lo que dice, porque va a cometer errores una y otra vez. No será capaz de evitarlo. Y su malicia brilla a través de todo lo que escribe. Era evidente que no es experto en las leyes de los EE.UU., para empezar. Y si de pronto parece entiédola, todos vamos a saber que tiene un abogado aconsejándole detrás de las escenas. Este error de hecho tendrá efectos duraderos, en otras palabras. La comunidad lo había vinculado ya. Y ahora los medios de comunicación está descubriendo. Se debe, en mi opinión, decir para quién -MICROSOFT- él está trabajando, porque está arruinando su reputación de esta manera. Y sólo puede empeorar. Mira lo que pasó a Enderle y MOG y Lyon.


Veán los seguimientos.
