| A word like âfreedomâ has a fairly short 
| dictionary definition, but you can see that 
| much has been written on different meanings of 
| freedom. That is, as a word it has a wide 
| coverage, which then needs a great deal of 
| talking about to pin down again. Consider 
| Wikipediaâs freedom (philosophy) and freedom 
| (political). Those articles are actually 
| fairly short. I wonder why? And of course we 
| know that âthe Four Freedomsâ can mean only 
| one thing. Oh, wait .. it doesnât. I never 
| knew there was a disambiguation page even for 
| that.

Open letter to Nexon

,----[ Quote ]
| Nexon having developed in part âCounter-
| Strike: Onlineâ, have knowledge of the 
| GoldSrc engine, which is based on id 
| Softwareâs Quake engine. With this recent 
| history of gaming engines, the developers 
| must be aware of the decision by id Software 
| to license the Quake engine under the GNU 
| GPL. I am proposing the developers and those 
| in charge of licensing consider making the 
| same decision. As Combat Arms licensed under 
| the GNU GPL would benefit Nexon greatly in 
| the long term.

Microsoft antitrust case: FSFE offers analysis to European Commission

,----[ Quote ]
| For desktop applications, FSFE argues that the software
| monopolist must release interoperability information in
| such a way that it can be used in Free Software. The
| company must also make a binding commitment not to
| enforce its patents against Free Software. That would
| prevent Microsoft from using Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt
| (FUD) to keep rivals from making use of the information.
