attack of Microsoft to the Open Source Software movement, the
organizers of Linux@work Europe, LogOn Technology Transfer, decided

questions:

  • Does Open Source Software Threaten Intellectual Property?
  • What is the difference between the GPL and Microsoft Shared
    Source strategy?

Panelists will include:

Foundation, and representatives from Borland, Compaq, Datarespons,
Hewlett-Packard, Lotus Development, Novell, Peregrine Systems, and
