[CLUE-Talk] Comments on the AdTI white paper entitled "Opening the Open SourceDebate".

[Kevin Cullis]

What I find interesting is MS is truing to shut down new ideas and stop
progress, or should I say the money faucet into their bank.  Here's an
illustration of a U.S. Founding father contributing to "open standards"
by creating one himself: Thomas Jefferson's Moldboard Plow.  Check it

He never patented it, but gave it away.
