KO donated his papers to Gordon College (the same one that's also in the news, hosting a Soulforce activist group that was turned away by every right-wing school--never thought of KO as a right-winger but times have changed, we ask a lot more questions about politics these days). Well, Gerry, you and I are showing our age I guess. I remember debating terms of the future Gnu Public License with RMS at the tables of Hsing Hsing in Central Square. Unipress was a big motivator behind the GPL. Coincidentally, a close acquaintance of mine named Bruce Dawson created it. It was a bit surreal, having a legal battle between a housemate and a coworker. Googling these is fun. Dawson's current resume: http://www.nefoss.com/twiki/pub/Main/BruceDawson/bruce.pdf . Stallman's: http://www.stallman.org/#serious Turns out these days my politics are closer to Stallman's than Olsen's. Times have really changed...;-) Now back to 2007... think I'll go pluck a couple of gray hairs and try to forget 68020 cross-compiler internals. ;-) -rich -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
