- FFII PR: McCreevy wants to legalise Software Patents via a US-EU patent treaty
- Sic Transit Gloria Laptopi – an insider’s criticisms of the OLPC’s seemed move toward MS Windows (with an interesting link to a New York Times article on the failure of cheap laptops as an educational tool).
- Microsoft has asked for help from the Blender 3D project – the question is, does Microsoft deserve their help and what should be asked in return? Meaningful patent promises would be nice, as would (really) opening some file formats.
- GPL wins in court again – short blog entry by Harald Welte about the recent victory against Skype.
- Qwantz: Dinosaur Comics the recent ones have been good, but none stand out as excellent. The beginnings are usually better than the endings.
