Hello again everyone,

Just letting you know that the message to RH Pete Hodgson I mentioned in an 
earlier message has been revised and is now online for all to view.  Please 
point your browser at http://www.openz.org if you want to see the latest 
version.  

A couple of would-be supporters have suggested that my describing our friends 
in Redmond as "...convicted monopolists...," though most certainly true, is 
perhaps not politically sound.  I have changed the language in response to  
their sage advise.   

Thanks very much to the surprisingly large number of you who have voiced your 
support, and especially to those who have suggested improvements and have put 
your names on the list.

It's interesting to note that the document itself has actually evolved by the 
"open source" process, thanks to great support from many of you, especially 
the Open Source NZ mailing list.  It's great to see some constructive passion 
for a change.  

Regards,

Dave Lane
