actually i do believe that everything should be open source
i believe that ideas are in the air
i am native american in part so my mind is a little different that white guy
BUT
i was really interested in the circularity of what had occurred
without the judgement really of what was occurring
and whether frameworks people got some cash
that wasn't my point
also
i was interested in the ubuweb discussion and how it sort of went nowhere
presumable a political football
cause the BIG names in the BIG BIZ of our little underground world are
behind it
so all is well - keep your mouth shut kinda thing
pay no attention to the man behind the curtain ...
(cliches abound)
anyway that is my memory of that discussion
maybe i missed something though
i am interested in reading what he said about it
and of course you are right adam he will make little cash - sure
but ethics - hmmmmn?
