The Open Source Renaissance

,----[ Quote ]
| Take, for example, U.S. patent and copyright protection laws and 
| policies. They reinforce proprietary, âclosed sourceâ rights and 
| policies. As a result of this system, many substantial U.S. 
| companies have formed around breakthrough ideas, but incentives 
| are in place for those companies to guard and protect their 
| intellectual property, even if others outside the company could 
| extend or advance it more rapidly.

| lawsuit between Research In Motion (RIM) and patent company NTP.

Michael Jackson using Drupal

| Not only is there a new tour, but MichaelJackson.com, the official site for
| fans of the King of Pop, has just re-launched, featuring some new
| community-oriented features and some old-school graphics from back in the
| day. MichaelJackson.com was built using Drupal by the good folks at Sony

| spam. Moonwalks!
