Scott Collins, a veteran software engineer from the Mozilla team, with strong opinions when it comes to Free Software held a great talk at NUUG yesterday about "Patent, Copyright, DRM, and Licenses in the New World of Free and Open Source Software". A very entusiastic guy with lot's of humor... Even though this talk was about the future of software patents and licenses there was one statement that I didn't forget: "but I use the right tool for the job; lately I've been writing things in PHP using the PEAR Libraries" *hint* *hint* That's how it should sound ;)
