http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/02/0432224

    [0]Gedvondur writes "The story ran in the WSJ today, that the
    Gates-owned image company, Corbis, is [1]suing Amazon.com for copyright
    violations (PDF link). Apparently the suit was without warning to
    Amazon. Amazon will use the DMCA to defend itself. Link goes to copy of
    the WSJ article on Corbis's site."

MandrakeSoft's Status Update
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/01/225223

    [0]joestar writes "[1]MandrakeSoft today posted an [2]update letter
    from its CEO about the company's health. Among other things, it's
    interesting to learn that the company seems to be on the good track to
    go out of the "chapter-11 protection" before the end of the year, that
    it's taking part to several publicly-funded research projects, and that
    Mandrake 9.1 is having a good success. They also thank for the warm
    support they received from the community. Worth a read for all Mandrake
    fans, like myself. Viva la Mandrake!"
