Speaking of people objecting to our current licensing,

[[Talk:Bruce Perens]]. Apparantly he objects to us having an article on

apparantly we're neither a Free Software project *or* an Open Source
project. Hrm.
I assume you're implying that the paragraph signed "Bruce" (who I
now
find out is User:Bruce Perens) is supposed to be Bruce Perens? Is
there any evidence that's actually the case? Because a comment like
"because of the flaws in the license - it is unlawful to host the
wikipedia on a computer running any contemporary operating system"
seems to be pretty far out there.
Doing a quick Google search, I find

http://www.oetrends.com/news.php?action=view_record&idnum=457
("Wikipedia is an example of a non software incarnation of Open
Source."), which makes me even more skeptical that this person is
indeed Bruce Perens.
