Call to Boycott Trend Micro.
February 21, 2008 by Canadian Watcher
Open Source software is under attack again.
As a end user of open source software, I as a user look at these legal wranglings with concern. I believe the end user should have complete control of what, when, where and how software is used on my computer. Software patents have been used by large corporations to intimidate and bully developers into line.
Companies use the court systems to intimidate and bully to keep their market share. Their are large corporations that have deep pockets that abuse the legal patent system to their advantage, somehow, everone who uses free and open software, developers and IT personel should take notice and join in this battle. The first thing someone can do is join the boycott.
