Here are a few more things you shouldn't be using either:
C: programming language created by convicted monopolist AT&T
SQL: database language created by convicted monopolist IBM
setuid programs: patented by convicted monopolist AT&T
PowerPC servers: patented by convicted monopolist IBM
Netbooks with Atom CPUs: patented by convicted monopolist Intel
