Re: * [ILUG-BOM] Eben Moglen on the GPLv3 process

what he says in the talk is much more than the process of creating V3. 1) a democratic process for creating legislation 2) the cost of distributing content / code 3) the ethics of depriving society of knowledge so that some can benefit Great analogies too - must read,particularly for those who think that closed software makes business sense. I have been bumping into these continuosly for the past week. I meet a couple of microserfs who were all worked up about a bank which specifies RH enterprise linux. They wanted to know how to get a copy without paying Rs.44k per site. When i said they could download the stuff, they said that RH would sue them. HA HA i loved that. Told them to use Debian.
