Heh, Yes, I was considering "interesting" in the same topic as "economics", rather than trying to create a schism between open-source and economics. Master Arnulf, sir, I promise to try very hard not to say anything that might be construed as distancing open source from commerce. Indeed, I am fully convinced that open source IS commercial in every sense, I just have to watch my wording ;) Time is sacred this week; doing some advocating of my own at GeoTec in Calgary. <http://www.jasonbirch.com/nodes/2007/05/12/85/its-off-to-geotec-i-go/> Sorry for crappy corporate Outlook Web Access formatting :( Jason
________________________________ From: Arnulf Christl Subject: Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Interesting article on open source economics An oxymoron (plural oxymora) is a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms. Oxymoron is a Greek term derived from oxy ("sharp") and moros ("dull"). Thus the word oxymoron is itself an oxymoron. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
