"In the industry" again. Here we go again. I've been banlisted and blackballed out of all those "labor unions" since my youth. They had a "VICA" club at my high school many years ago, and I was not invited.

Certain "working class" people aggressively claim all sorts of collective bargaining, work-related and employment rights and then they ride roughshod over basic human rights for everyone and everything else. It's the Mob. And then the bosses play right into their hands with delusions of "intellectual property," 100-year corporate copyrights, employee non-compete agreements and non-disclosure agreements, business-method patent portfolios, selectively enforced trademarks on common dictionary words, and government top secret classification for business trade secrets.

Then the "free software" folks hired some of the same lawyers to come up with the "GPL," and there's an "established" Linux kernel to boot all that GNU software, and the Santa Cruz Operation ("SCO" out of the same vice district as Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and Denver) hit them with poisoned code, cartel copyright allegations, and a magic solution, "Well, if you didn't release such reliable mission-critical code to the public, all would be well for the mil-spec employment market in Silicon Valley (San Francisco, California.)

Noone? I don't know. In French they say «personne» unless they're lawyers, in which case they say «nulle personne» … they're workers. You can't fire them. They never quit. They're always "serving" you in court or at law with something or another you didn't order and you don't want.
