A quick reminder that time is rapidly running out to submit
comments for or against the proposed settlement of the US vs.
Microsoft case. Send a short, polite (it is not necessary or
desirable to flame in this case) email with the subject line
‘Microsoft Settlement’ to:

microsoft.atr@usdoj.com

Also, see this piece about why you may wish to comment:

“I’m probably the U.S. citizen most involved in the
Wine project, and if I haven’t acted, then who will?

I’ve heard a rumor that there are no shortage of comments from
folks ‘encouraged’ by Microsoft. Apparently, there are also a
number of Sun/Java encouraged comments. But not much else.

Bottom line: if we don’t speak out now, we let Microsoft buy
this one.”

Remember, monopoly happened via complacency!
