It is relatively early on a Sunday morning. I'm in Portland sitting in Mark Shuttleworth's opening keynote for Ubuntu Live 2007.

From a business perspective, holding all of the copyright for your products provides important advantages (usually ones that relates to making money or managing risk).
From a normal human perspective, it sucks to [...]
