Tannenbaum's open letter to Intel is also a good read:
not seeing much of value there - I would have expected a principled and scathing attack on the biggest fascist chip manufacturer on the plaenet and their 'management engine' but there is onli one line in a post script.
Yeah, Tannenbaum is not a guy to expect that sort of thing from, I don't think. I just thought it was interesting.
also, the fact that motherfucking intel gets to 'save' money by using free stuff isn't exactly good news either.
last but not least, at some point it's quite ridiculous for open source advocates to give weapons to their enemies.
Minix is BSD-licensed, so anyone can take it and do what they will with it. I guess you're advocating for GPL only in open source stuff? I can see both sides of the argument...
