I can't see any way to participate in this without legitimising Microsoft's unethical approach to IP, but if you're determined to go ahead with it, you might want to look into a project involving the Linux-movies mailing list, along with K-3D and some other groups, to develop a feature-length film entirely using Free Software tools. -- Lee. _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
