    The meeting was indeed a delight.  James Turner's talk was 
informative, well-delivered, and contemplative.

    In James' reference to the Linux-Intellectual Property connection, 
the articles I mentioned can be found in "Technology Review" June 2005: 
"The People Own Ideas!" by Lawrence Lessig P48, "The Creators Own 
Ideas!" by Richard A. Epstein P58, and "How Linux Could Overthrow 
Microsoft" by Charles Ferguson P64.

    For those who are not familiar with the magazine, Technology Review 
is "MIT's Magazine of Innovation".  Significantly, it is aimed more at 
managers and business executives than at technologist - and certainly 
not at geeks.
