Hi all,

I just got through reading a nice, in-depth interview of Eric Raymond
(ESR) at LWN.  Here's the link.

http://lwn.net/2000/features/ESR/

It runs several pages, but it's worth it, especially when he and the
interviewer start discussing software patents.  I find myself agreeing
with the interviewer that we need to pre-emptively patent as many ideas
as we can so we can protect their use and prevent big companies from
stealing the ideas.

So, let's discuss the article on the list.  It will keep me from dying
of boredom at work tomorrow...

Later,

	Tony
