Nicht schon wieder... "Eric S. Raymont/OSI  vs.  Richard M. Stallann/GNU" 
der alte Streit. Würden beide Parteien sich endlich darauf einigen, das 
"Open Source" logischerweise einfach nur eine Teilmenge der "Free Software"
(im Sinne des GNU Projektes, sonst mißverständlich) ist, hätten wir einen
unnötigen Streit weniger. Stattdessen gibt es alle paar Monate ein paar
Flamewars in den "eigenen Reihen". Politik. :-(

tschüss,
