Maybe this is just a strategical effort to get the project happen in the 
first place? You cannot declare war to all hardware and software vendors 
and hope that they will let you work in peace. I think that by declaring 
limited scope of the project OLPC bought themselves precious time. What 
will happen after plants are set up and 100$ laptops start to roll out 
is a different matter, and i'll be not surprised if those laptops start 
to appear in Wal-Mart (and Media Markt, hopefully, because Europe also 
need it :-)
BTW - i read this list for some time now, hello to all.
