I'd like to emphasize, though, that I didn't do anything to discourage Brett G. writing an article; on the contrary, it was my idea. Like Greg S., I *did* suggest that he should not send a disguised diatribe about the GPL. > Please write the article and send it in - we're always happy to > receive well written articles and you'll be given a fair review > process by the editors. Submit to article@daemonnews.org. I strongly support this. In particular, it would show that Brett G. is interested in active advocacy.
