> Excerpt:
>
> 	A teacher in Austin sent an angry, accusatory email to a local
> 	Linux collective ("HeliOS Project, which builds and provides
> 	Linux computers to disadvantaged or 'exceptionally promising'
> 	students") accusing them of piracy for distributing the free
> 	operating system and excoriating them for encouraging her
> 	students to do the same. She threatened to have the group's
> 	organizer investigated by the police, too.
