The Liar King Award¶
Here is my collection of candidates for the Liar King Award, a yet to be created award that honours brilliant examples of propaganda, fake news and other ways of cultivating lies.
Example of a legally correct lie: “Wing 101 is free to use for any purpose and does not require a license to run.” (download page of Wing IDE). No, it is not free to use for any purpose because its source code is not published under a free software license. It is free only as in free beer, not as in free speach. Don’t tell me that you have never heard about free software. The whole page deliberately ignores a part of reality.
