I have to say that this is one of the funniest things I've seen all month, related to free licenses.

Down to 20,587 now. At this rate, they'll all be gone by Christmas. Of 2013. |

Down to 20,587 now. At this rate, they'll all be gone by Christmas. Of 2013. Down to less than 13,000 now. I'm impressed. Here's what gets my goat, though. Just today, in response to a very similar publishing rip-off scam, Ryan Kaldari thinks he's cavalry coming to the rescue of the WMF brand by "notifying the WMF legal department". Heads up, Ryan! Back in October 2009, I alerted WMF legal eagle Mike Godwin to the fact that VDM Publishing's printing the front-cover tagline, "High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles!" was likely an unauthorized use of the Wikipedia trade name in commerce. Guess what Godwin's response to me was? QUOTE There is no need to copy me on this exchange. Please remove mnemonic@gmail.com from your respective lists. And later... QUOTE What the hell is wrong with you? Don't you have a job somewhere? Get a life. Note that almost exactly one year later, Godwin would be out of his job at the Wikimedia Foundation. I wonder if ol' Geoff Brigham will handle this particular publishing corruption a little smarter than Mike Godwin did? |

In the Kohs-centric universe, everything that happens is caused by somebody's response or non-response to Kohs. He is the fixed center of the turning world. |

Hey whilst you are here - It looks like the WMF got a $500K bung from Google for SOPA, did you get any of it, for past services? |
