> His articles weren't paid for at all. Are you googling the wrong Tom Cowan? Unfortunately I didn't Google at all. I just did Google that name, though, and found one of his name, also a lawyer, who was "indicted for tax evasion"! I only remembered you mentioning your father's profession before and assumed, based on my experience with you, that your father was no slouch as a lawyer. I assumed he earned his fees. Obviously taxpayers pay lawyers by the word. Why else are statutes and regulations and law professors' articles so prolix? /Larry -----Original Message----- From: John Cowan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 18, 2013 2:05 PM To: Lawrence Rosen Cc: 'Eben Moglen'; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [License-discuss] Open Source Eventually License Development Lawrence Rosen scripsit: > Indeed I wish I were, like your father, paid by the word. ....Or paid > by any other measure here....
