46. The beheading and murder of United States Citizens in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and other countries have been videotaped, converted to MPEG and other images for viewing on the public Internet through the use of OSS and Linux software and computer technology developed and purloined by Linux and OSS members and illegally exported from the United States.

Damn those MPEG-exporting, Linux-using OSS thieves and their support for global terrah!

Well, first of all, Linux isn't a piece of software, it's an organization. Which Bruce Perens is president of. (These facts are alleged in the court document.) The purloining wasn't of Linux, it was done by Linux - terrorists and Linux members stole trade secrets and put them into open-source software.
