This was posted so we could be aware of what some groups have as their agenda. It is very easy to dismiss this as so much propaganda coming from the likes of Micro$oft. A simple read of history shows us what dismissive attitudes cost Europe in May of 1940; what they cost the USA in Dec of 1941, and what they cost her again in Sept of 2001. We may consider such statements from an "influential think tank" to be just so much crap but summarily dismiss them at your own peril. I, for one, take these attacks on the future of open source development as very serious. Let there be no mistake about it: the barbarians are at the gate. drjung -- J.
