Hello FreeBSD, Could you please shunt/share this to the right lists? Thanks very much! "Knowledge, Technology and Policy" is publishing a theme issue on "Open-Source Software". The deadline for submissions is 1 October 1999. As Netscape, Linux, FreeBSD, Apache, GNU and Samba are now ubiquitous, provocative questions arise and are invited for analysis: --Why should universities patronize commercial software when open-source software is more congruent with the ideal of open, shared knowledge? --Can you make money giving away your product? --Can open-source software development be managed efficiently? --Can open-source methods produce feature-rich software? --Which is more reliable and better supported: open-source or commercial software? --How and why do open-source development efforts fail? --What are the legal intellectual property problems? --What are the ethical problems? --Is the software industry headed towards a death struggle between the 30-year old counter-culture that spawned the Internet and the 3000-year commercial culture most comfortable with products that sit quietly on shelves?
