Death of M. Rocard, former French PM, hero in the fight against software patents
so...this is probably one of the reasons im being paid zap for this work and have to skirt regulations to get anywhere. meanwhile the folks in the us earn over a hundred thousand each year, inventing new software and getting proper recognition for their work. maybe the hero of open source fanatics (i like open source. i just mean certain fanatics) and perhaps consumers, but certainly not my hero. of course its sad that another well intentioned person passed away.
