hi,
I’m cross posting this debate to the [Fsfe-ie] list who are producing a co-ordinated response to the envisaged European patent law, which is against all our interests - the archive is open for those folk with time on our hands [1] ... which I guess is no one on the [ox-en] list [2]

Thanks for the info but (as a lawyer) I simply don't agree with this sort of legal anaylsis.
I am not a lawyer, just a reader of the Debian Legal list. If you believe that Mozilla is not free, please discuss it there, too.

Thomas I have too many listss in my inbox just now but if you want to post it there you can - that's fine; I think the best way for this sort of thing to happen is for those of us who are on other lists to cross post things and "report back" if needed
I’m on too many lists as well, and in line with martin's suggestion I’m going to forward (under separate cover) an email I sent earlier today to the [Fsfe-ie] list suggesting a common place to publish our ideas
I refer the [ox-en] list to the thread started by chris croome entitled "[ox-en] How about a wiki.oekonux.org site?" - i think both chris and me sense a need to mainstream and demystify the FLOSS mode of production to the world outside our newly forming and overlapping communities - IMHO this can be done best by participation from, and reference to, the (stakeholder) communities themselves; can we all consider therefore contacting interested parties and figure out an acceptable location for this joint work ?

"I was told later that there is a striking chemical phenomenon that can be demonstrated with supersaturated solution of anhydrous sodium acetate, cooled below its normal freezing point of around room temperature. A single tiny flake of the solid chemical is dropped into the supercooled solution ... and within moments the entire volume of the liquid undergoes a swift phase change, becoming a solid crystalline mass."
