Hi, I hope we Open Source advocates be cool about this, we are not politician to fight head to head with this people it will only cause more dis-information regarding the open source if we do. People do not know what is the difference between Open Source and the rest of Software license. We who understand know its benefit and how good Open source is to our country. I think we should do a pres release relating to this bill so that they will know what we will gain in this bill and avoid hurting or targeting people who are against this bill.

This is an obvious challenge to us Open Source advocates. I am doing my share via Manila Bulletin but it is only a once a week thing. We need more - can we get sponsors such as IBM, Sun and Oracle to give us funds for a half-page advert stating that these writers from PhilStar and Inq do not know what they are talking about! I am also hoping that Rep. Casino will do the same and release his own rebuttal. Anyway, send me your piece and I will make sure that it gets published by Manila Bulletin. We need to act fast! Where is OpenMind when you need it? :D On Dec 3, 2006, at 2:25 PM, Marvin T. Pascual wrote: > Hello all, > > I can't stand it anymore.
