Nobody disputed any of the facts in my Advogato article at http://www.advogato.org/article/329.html . It would be hard to do -- they're all taken from SPI's website and other public records. Speaking of which, I asked my lawyer what happens to a corporation which fails to meet yearly (as required by New York State law). Perhaps SPI, Incorporated should also ask its lawyer? > if anyone "hijacked" anything, it was bruce and esr who ran off with > the domain that bruce registered on behalf of debian & spi, as debian > project leader. Excuse me, but YOU are rewriting history. Check the domain registration. It's owned by SPI. How can something be hijacked from SPI if it's owned by SPI? Now note the expiration date. Can someone at SPI explain how it got paid 7 years in advance?
