Hi Folks,
I've been listening to a Radio 4 programme this evening called "Open Source":
Open Source Wednesday 11 April 2007 21:00-21:30 (Radio 4 FM)
Paul Bennun finds out how Free and Open Source software is making its impact felt across the world, fuelling development and saving businesses millions of pounds. Produced by a global network of software enthusiasts and freely given away, community created computer programs can compete with big business. Their creators are driven by an ideology as much as price, challenging traditional intellectual property rights and placing power in the hands of the public rather than private corporations.
Linux itself is not prominently mentioned, but overall I think they have got the spirit of the thing about right (though I have quibbles about some details).
No mention on the programme's website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/factual/pip/z9ksy/
about a "Listen Again" possibility, if you missed it, but one may come up later.
Best wishes to all, Ted.
