Considering that Slashdot was a bit confused about this, as well as my person and the rationale for the award, and some people seem to have taken this a little too seriously, allow me to point out that Germany got rid of knighthood a long time ago. The Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon is internationally part of the orders of knighthood, hence the "knighting" meme. But as things are I did not get to kneel in heavy armor, there were no swords involved, and I don't get to herd my sheep over the Köhlbrandbrücke in Hamburg or something similarly cool that might have been associated with this in the UK. That said, it is a great honor for Free Software and Open Standards and I am truly happy for all the things this represents. With best regards, Georg -- Georg C. F.
