[Charles Eakins]

Funny IBM's pushing open source software, I'm sorry to say this, but FUCK
these companys, it's time to boycott, and hit these assholes in the pocket
book.

According to their website, "BSA worldwide members include Adobe,
Apple, Autodesk, Bentley Systems, CNC Software/Mastercam, Macromedia,
Microsoft, Symantec and UGS." Interpret that as you wish.

And I think the most common connotation of technology, at least on
this list, is "hi-tech" software and hardware industries. However, BSA
only includes software companies, so Intel (for example), which I
would consider a "major technology player", is not a member.
