Be sure to tell the CIOs that.  That'll do wonders for adoption of
FreeBSD.

Because I know that it happens regularly.  Geeks usually know nothing
about copyright and think that they are above copyright law.

Then they are also smarter than the people running Microsoft, IBM,
Adobe, Apple, Sun, and many other multibillion-dollar companies, all of
which have regular problems with copyright and patent law.  The
difference is that these large companies can afford to defend themselves
in court (and even then they sometimes lose).

I'm trying to keep people from shooting themselves in the feet.  Why is
there always such hostility towards this?
