This is kind of a funny story, at least for some FOSS geeks. Tonight I was getting annoyed working on a Plesk server because Parallels, who distributes Plesk, includes a broken Apache distribution. They removed important files that users, including ourselves, need. Taking a closer look, I noticed their distribution isn't just broken, it's ILLEGAL. They illegally removed the license file and attributions, it appears. (I've asked the Apache legal team to double check in case I missed something.)

Since I'm an Apache copyright holder, along with asking them to fix some specific brokenness from files they removed, I went ahead and revoked their license to distribute Apache and therefore their Plesk setup package, which includes Apache. Who wants to bet that shit gets fixed first thing in the morning?
