I've never met Alan Cox, but you gotta love the guy when he comes out with
lines like:

"So is 'Microsoft Shared Source' a failed attempt at Open Source? Not
really. In fact it is a demonstration of how far Microsoft are from grasping
the entire concept of Open Source. IBM were providing source code in the
1960's under similar terms. VMS source code was available under limited
licenses to customers from the beginning. Microsoft are catching up with
1960."

BTW, if any Red Hat lurkers are paying attention, Wide Open is dead as a
dodo.
