[Ichthux-devel] Penguin in the Pew Available

[Raphaël Pinson]

Hi Don,

What I'm surprised with, is that it's not free. 
- Not free in what it costs, but since it is the goal to clear that up it's 
only a good example, and most of the first open-source programs were not 
free in terms on money.
- But it's also not free in he sense of not open-source. Sure the book has 
to be bought, the but sxw sources are not avaiblable either. 

I didn't know you were to have people pay for this paper, and I was 
wondering about packaging it for ichthux, but I guess I cannot package for 
Debian something that is not free...

Anyway this is a great work, and seems very interesting to read. I know 
quite a lot of people who would like to read such a paper about open-source 
:)
