[Opensim-users] Academics Discuss Mass Migration From Second Life

[lamont cranston]

Did anyone else find it humorous that he was venting about the concepts
behind free software, while using the internet? The internet is a medium
that was created by a government program and is built on free software and
open standards.

(yes, Virginia, there are proprietary pieces here and there, and the
majority of end clients attaching to the servers are proprietary - I am
speaking of the net proper. Even Steve Ballmer admits that 60% of business
servers are on Linux, and when you look at just ISPs the percentage goes
way,way up. )

Reminds me of the Interstate highway system in the USA - it was built for
the Military to move tanks, but it has become the backbone of civilian
commerce.
