i labeled this off topic because it deosnt apply to IT except indirectly.
we have a case in greenville south carolina where they are using emminent domain to take the property,but the way that it has been done is sleazy and kind of skirting the law.i am hoping a lawyer comes forth to help the people.but they did condemned the building based on the age of it, not becausse of condition.they built a fence to prevent bar entry to the place.they approved developement behind the place and the building is so close to the back of the old building that the entrance can no longer be used.the old people that own the building had refused to sell and so the city wants this new development there and turns out someone on the board that voted for all of this has onnections to the development group.
to get to my point i posted something similar to emminent domain as taking linux,except for one thing;linux is not owned by people in just one country.
it is a world effort and as we all know if the usa tries things like this there will be disagreements so this is one fight i dont forsee any longer for linux.of course then we have the new internet governance board with the UN
