I thought some of you might find this interesting. Note the date of the
article.

I'd guess that the iX magazine hits the newsstands in Germany on 1st of
April..

Here's a quote from the text which should alert any reader:

  "According to their speaker, Luciano Aprilia, the Italian developers,
  are going to make the software available under the GPL, so it can be
  used free of charge." 

The article was very entertaining, though :-)

Sigh...  Quite a lot of people apparently don't know the special meaning
of the 1st of April and mailed me about Linux for Nitendo.  Some of them
became very agressive and insulting when I told them the article'd be
just hoax ...

Since when was ``Luciano Apriliani'' in an article published in the April
issue not a sufficient hint ...

This has already been discussed on this list. I think if you "notice" the
date the article becomes a little bit less interesting...
