'find'. :)

No. We're making it the responsibility of those who use those platforms. Is there a way I can say that without suggesting that WE will do that work?

I intend to be much more careful in the actual speech. Although, this is mostly about what's under GPL and what's under MIT/BSD, and the dual-licensing.

Looks like it.
IMHO the talk looks good. It's about what i would expect to hear and some stuff (like economical problems) i wouldnt have thougt about but would like to hear anyways.
Well, let's get the submission ready, and then we'll move on to the REAL speech which includes more detail.
