i like this man and the things he has to say here :
ESR

some interesting snippets :
"...at IBM, it is now the policy of that company, announced by its president, that every new piece of software written at IBM must be issued under an open source license, unless the development managers can make a specific business case why that should not be."

"Most people's lives are taken up with a great many trivial things that they don't really care about, but which they feel they have to do. I just don't do that."

"When you concentrate on things you really love and care about, you do them really well. There is usually money waiting for anyone who can do something really well."

"Battling software patents will have to be someone else's problem, I'm afraid; I must concentrate on the parts of education and advocacy that I do well."
