[General] كل عام وأنتم بخير

Happy new Hijra year,
 
I noticed that some were interested in the Penguin picture, I do not know
why his eyes are crossed!!
As I was searching the net for similar pictures, I came accross this site
http://abujamila.blog.de/ it is in German, I used the freetranslations.com
and got the following:
 
===================================================================
Has Linux, the free computer operating system, before the Microsoft so large
anxiety has what that of all with Islam to do?  I remember the year 2005, it
was approximate October when I read the Islam side of the "Arab-News".  This
leaf comes is out of Saudi Arabia, and how almost all media in this country
strictly controls, of the government.  A representative of Microsoft Saudi
Arabia wrote would be not only illegal an article to explain in that he
tried, why the copying of windows, but rather also haram (in Islam not
permitted).  As an affirmation, quoted it a Fatwa (religious expert opinion)
the deceased Abdullah am Baz, that at that time highest authority in the
kingdom wherein it the copying of windows classified without license of
Microsoft as haram unambiguous.  Its establishments very tightly were
carried out, in contrast to other islamic scholars, that maintain the
opposite.  They say that there is no intellectual copyright in Islam.
Coarsely said meant that that the copying of computer programs halal (in
Islam permitted) is, as far as unambiguously, for example out of the
packaging follows, that this is a copy.  Remarkable at the Fatwa of Baz am
is moreover that it blindly was, and therefore probably never in its life at
a computer sat, let alone windows used has.  But back to the subject:  Linux
is for nothing and belongs to the group of the so-called "opuses source"
-projects.  The source code is may realize free, and every person in the
world how Linux was constructed, may change it and make so many copies how
he wants.  The Linux-community is in the deed somewhat rebellious in the
positive sense.  To be directed you hatt it satisfied of monopoly firms as
well as Microsoft and Apple.  Monopolies are by the way haram in Islam.
Therefore Moslems should admit herself also not at all on copyright and such
things.  In addition they should support the opuses-source community and
should use its program.  
===================================================================
 
I know it is not perfect translations, and rather funny too, but I got the
message. I thought you may be interedted too.
 
Thanks
 

 

Best Regards,
