Bear in mind that MS already gives access and permission to use  their code to a good number of people, and only stops at Free Code where they lose control..   Much like the OGL gives very specific freedoms with material but maintains control of key aspects. Neither is truly 'Open',  and both are a far cry better than than anything else in the market.. <grin> -R ----- Original Message ----- From: William Olander To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 6:44 AM Subject: RE: [Ogf-l] NYTimes.com Article: Microsoft Is Set to Be Top Foe of Free Code Besides, I found the article relevant. Considering that this means Microsoft is going out to try and debunk the theories of open source code, that could in fact have an impact on the open gaming community as well. |-----Original Message----- |From: Jay Adan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] |Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 8:54 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: RE: [Ogf-l] NYTimes.com Article: Microsoft Is Set to |Be Top Foe |of Free Code | | |If you read the mail carefully, you'll notice that the article |was forwarded |to the group - probably from a member - using the NYTimes' "e-mail this |article to a friend" utility. | |- Jay | |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kele Kravelin |Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2001 6:03 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: RE: [Ogf-l] NYTimes.com Article: Microsoft Is Set to |Be Top Foe |of Free Code | | |Is it just me or is this spam mail that got to the list?
