Raelian? [WebTech]

My attention was drawn by Jason Brooks's (there's that apostrophe again...) article to the page of Stallman and Perens quotes posted by SCO. Why, do you think, are there no links to the sources of these quotes? Do they need lessons on use of the "A" tag? Or is it that they would rather we didn't see the context of each quote? For example, the full text of Free as in Freedom is available online (the quote they pull is in chapter 5, where Stallman is talking about changes the law needs - the quote starts "I'm looking beyond what the existing laws are to what they should be"), and the irony of the Perens quote (which should show context of "Perens said he is making a habit out of testing the limits of the DMCA, mainly to show just how trivial most DRM technologies are" according to InfoWorld) is ignored. I hope the promised proof is better (and more honourable) than this...
