Chris, Not even Harper could dislodge the entrenched Ottawa mentality that includes a social dynamic fostered by the bureaucratic elites. Open Source is an unlikely offsetting counter force, as witnessed by groklaw.net.
Toronto's i4i initial victory over M$ in a Texas courtroom is under appeal, but shows that both patents and licenses have a crucial role to play in business practices. Prosecuting Open Source license violators is another means of promoting non-proprietary applications. This leads me to the CRTC petition - the recommendations for the board have to be rethought to include representatives from the programming, ISP and other computer related fields.
