[ProgSoc] open source trademark

[jedd@nospam.progsoc.uts.edu.au]

 Howdi,

 Just reading the blurb put out by Software In the Public
 Interest, Inc (SPI), regarding the open-source trademark
 dispute.  This is the first I've heard of it, and I'm
 curious on why everyone's getting tetchy about it.  Is
 OSI (apart from having a bad choice of acronyms) a 'bad'
 group of people?  I thought Bruce was one of the good guys?
 Of course.. it's all opinion, but that's what I was seeking.

 The open-letter <tm> is available at :

 Jedd.

 PS.  I'll be watching for any fuel for the ftoomsh/Redhat
 .v. SPI/Debian conspiracy theory.  :)
