getting way afield from Fedora discussion but just to be more accurate,
it was Yahoo and no, they didn't execute him.

As for Tom's insinuation about Google - you are free to not use their
services if you don't want to. There's little privacy on the Internet
anyway but Google manages to eek a profit from providing advertising
services that are somewhat easy to overlook but are ever present. 

Google is probably the least evil of all large corporations but of
course things can always change over time but they do contribute a lot
of GPL code, sponsor many open source lists, etc.
