confiscating Firefox CDs

Published February 24th, 2006 in Copyright, patents, and trademarks, Free Software/Open Source.

This article is simply unbelievable. A UK ‘Trading Standards Officer’ confiscated Firefox CDs that were being sold by a company in the UK. Key quote: ‘If Mozilla permit the sale of copied versions of its software, it makes it virtually impossible for us, from a practical point of view, to enforce UK anti-piracy legislation’.

Somebody bring a very large cluebat please.

In other news, I’ve got the flu
