Healthcare.gov, the federal government's Obamacare website, has been under heavy criticism from friend and foe alike during its first two weeks of open enrollment. Repeated errors and delays have prevented many users from even establishing an account, and outside web designers have roundly panned the structure and coding of the site as amateurish and sloppy. The latest indication of the haphazard way in which Healthcare.gov was developed is the uncredited use of a copyrighted web script for a data function used by the site, a violation of the licensing agreement for the software.

Obama has no problem seizing private property to further his agenda. It's a common trait of tyrants throughout history.

A note at the bottom of the DataTables.net (http://datatables.net/) website says: "DataTables designed and created by SpryMedia © 2008-2013." The company explains the license (http://datatables.net/faqs) for using the software on that website [emphasis added]:
DataTables is free, open source software that you can download and use for whatever purpose you wish, on any and as many sites you want. It is free for you to use! DataTables is available under two licenses: GPL v2 license (http://datatables.net/license_gpl2) or a BSD (3-point) license (http://datatables.net/license_bsd), with which you must comply (to do this, basically keep the copyright notices in the software).

so much obama-derangement, so little time.

and if world nut daily and the standard say it, it must be true... even if there's no evidence.

i'll reserve judgment until there's some legitimate coverage... .
