Erm, I don't see how that follows. The CIA has enormous resources and a 9 figure yearly budget (that we know about), but that doesn't mean I expect them to go out of their way to tap my phone. They certainly *could* tap my phone, sure, but why should they bother? The same applies to the assumption that corporations are out to bend open source to their will or are even particularly interested in it, and vice-versa. - Jordan From: Brett Glass <brett@lariat.org> Subject: Re: BSD direction/Damonnews article Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2001 19:12:02 -0600 > At 01:19 AM 6/6/2001, Jordan Hubbard wrote: > > >These things always make me really curious.
