I’ve congratulated you before for your knowledgeable and accessible explanations of important computing concepts on NatRad, but that interview was really outstanding. You do a great service for the open source community who are usually shouted down by wealthy, influential commercial interests who have a lot to lose as open source gains momentum. The current OOXML debate (particularly in other countries) is an illustration of the lengths to which they’ll go to protect their interests. I, for one, think it’s the beginning of the end for them, though. The masses are starting to wake up.

All the best,

Very good, clear explanations. Can we quote you?

Could you also tell to your audience how you manage self replication?

Also, look forward to you covering software freedom day on National Radio, 15 September. (And the “free” here relates to free speech, not free beer.)
