All you ever here is that only .02 percent of people use open source, but any time someone pirates something, it has to be the open source people.

Often, we hear that point-zero-two percent of computer users are using open source software. Still, when software is pirated, it is assumed that these users are to blame.

It's obvious that there are a lot of "professional journalists" who just don't research anything.

The "OpenSource" people are the ones most interested in reputation, attribution and cooperation, independent of the legalities.

Makes me wonder what a closed source book would look like:

Probably all pages glued together or something, with an EULA attached "You don't own the book, you only have a license". In the coming decade (in Russia, but also outside Russia), you don't own the book, the publisher of the book owns _you_ I guess...

Requires a NDA to read it.
