I guess some reply is better than none!!! ;-)

I am going to try my best to dodge the religous discusions as there are
plenty of those on usenet as it is and its gets us nowhere.

I agree with you on patents.  I know why they did it but all it does is
restrict progress in the field.  I am not sure what it covers as I have not
read them yet.  There are links to them on my website.

I want to see if there is something we can do open source that brings the
concepts of IP to everyone.  The first step of that is to get people that
are interested in the concepts to get together.

MS was very tight lipped about IP.  If it wasn't for the Generative
Programming book, most people would never have heard of it.  Still I guess
the GP book is PHB speak!!
