Yes, for a time I've been watching Raymond, and I definetely think
he's a kind of playboy of "Open Software" ( whatever it means). 
Raymond is unable to any major work, so he has to do his best
in being a braggart. By the way, I haven't presented to the list
, this it'd be very lengthy and difficult. Basically I'm a not
very wise guy, but he tries to do his best. I programm usually 
in python. And I run a half of small of free projects (some of them
comatose). The last one would be interesting for you? Because it
involves some legal stuff. 
It's in http://www.ctv.es/USERS/irmina/TeEncontreX.html 
is a collection of USENET and mailling list articles of TeX. 
I wonder what's the copyright status of such a thing?
Any commments ?
