PJ lies about Terekhov--again

Groklaw's Pamela Jones, the Sarah Palin of the Software World is at it
again:

"The court quotes from Microsoft Corp. v. Software Wholesale Club,
Inc.: "the first-sale doctrine does not apply to an admittedly
counterfeit unit". So, no, you can't buy a copy and use it to go into
a counterfeiting business, in effect. Terekhov's theory has bitten the
dust and then had to eat some. Just like Daniel Wallace's anti-GPL
theory did. Whoever is relying on their legal theories might want to
buy a vowel and try to figure this puzzle out."

Pammy never bothers to document her sources concerning her assertion
that Terekhov's first sale theory involves "counterfeiting" and
distributing legally owned copies of GPL software. This woman is
either a congenital liar or Alzheimer's toxic plaque is taking its
toll. Even someone with her limited cognitive abilities should
understand that you have permission via the GPL license to download
and make an unlimited number of verbatim copies.

"... They'll say, but, but, but ... what if they hadn't used the
master and just used each copy, then would it work? Sons, why do you
think Psystar used the master copy?".

But, but, but ...

"1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program."

What is it with this senile creature and Terekhov? Has Pammy secretly
got the hots for Terekhov? Perhaps someone will send her a "Long Dong
Kong" replica vibrator so she can relax a little bit... Jeez, I fear
her hair's gonna catch fire.

Sincerely,
Rjack
