UPDATED: FSF Europe: SourceForge drifting
(Nov 12, 2001, 22:08)
"Over the past few months the SourceForge development facility,
which hosts a large number of Free Software projects, has changed
its policies. Features for exporting a project from SourceForge
have been removed. The implementation used to be exclusively Free
Software but is now based on non-free software. Finally, VA Linux
has become rather underhand in their attempts to grasp exclusive
control of contributors' work." [ SourceForge.net's manager,
Patrick McGovern, has rebutted several of the points made in this

AListApart.com: Opera CTO Håkon Lie: MSN, Opera & Web Standards (Nov 12, 2001, 13:01)
"Given this result, one might conclude that Microsoft is actively sabotaging the work of web standards and W3C -- or at the very least, demonstrating an almost unbelievable lack of competence. Microsoft points to W3C specifications when explaining why they lock competitors' browsers out of MSN, yet none of the documents published on MSN follow these W3C specifications. In any case, it will be harder for Microsoft to blame lockouts on standards in the future."

and observing along the way that Linux is a good deal easier to
deal with if you're already acquainted with UNIX. Funny that. Kinda
the key idea behind Linux, but we digress."
