Despite all the talk of the ideals of the web being based upon freedom and sharing and anti-authority there was no mention of Linux or even Unix, or the Free Software Foundation (there was an interview with the Grateful Dead founding member of EFF). Sure those are things more under the hood, but so many hints to them and opportunities. It was like it was censored out.
There was but one single utterance of the phrase "open source" - by our good friend Stephen Fry. Otherwise quite good as (mainly) introductory material about the ideals which have formed the web and the struggles between freedom and corporations which have played out on it. James.
