These two @lwnLWN.net articles are prime examples of why good journalism matters and why you should pay money to make sure it thrives:

They both look beyond the shiny statements from the different parties involved and outside commentators such as @torvaldsLinus Torvalds in this case and explain just how it is from a mostly neutral[1] point of view so that you can make your own judgments.

* GPLv2 and installation requirements – lwn.net/Articles/1052842/

* SFC v. VIZIO: who can enforce the GPL? – lwn.net/Articles/1052734/

[1] We are humans, and even if we try, we are never completely neutral – and a publication like that targets the FLOSS community obviously will somewhat look at things from the view of its target audience.
