Sign this petition, and help stop the passing of an unjust law that could cripple the passing on of ideas, the Linux and UNIX open-source OSs, and Apache (which helps keep our good Internet afloat).
If any budding programmers exist here (and they do) they should certainly sign this, as it is stripping authors a) of some of their intellectual rights and B) their ability to share ideas and create software based solutions to Microsofts "Features."
IMPORTANT! SAVE OPEN-SOURCE!

CNC Guild will go down too.
Microsoft are just a bunch of selfish pigs. If Linux goes then theres no competition.
They can't let it happen anyway.
I'm going to post this at WHT. I reckon that will get loads of people signing it.

Well sir, I don't think it passed.
MS had no right to ask for that anyway.
Open source is just what it says. Micro$hit don't own it.

Microsoft are barstards. There total objective is to control almost all networks and such.

Corrupt program now requires constant reboots and does not function at all in majority of instances. Designed with a web browser component to replace AOL, it has exceeded our expectations by being more crashy and unreliable and with worse tech support. We didn't think it was physically possible! A general product recall is advised; when it does function it seems to require background processes Girl 0.1Beta to stave off further crashes. Will someone PLEASE remove that code, and insert Backbone 1.9 in its place? That's assuming we even bother to continue this prog.
