(my 0.02: this is an excellent selection, and some good
reading material for today's world... I was almost tempted
to "cross post" this to rec.arts.books on Usenet...)
In case anyone [has some "free" time today, and]
wants to read the whole essay, it is at:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/gpl-american-way.html
(maybe this is overkill, since that comes up as the first hit on a
Google search for the title; but)
I just thought it would be nice - and
convenient - to provide the link here.
