[Meeting Perens] Second live post

Now Bruce is talking about democracy and net neutrality. From The ancient Rome to the millennium.

Software Patenting is a very bad thing for Open Source, because allows large companies to control the spreading of ideas and developing.

Net Neutrality is the most important topic that bloggers should talk about. It’s the key to keep democracy on the net and in the society.

Bruce Perens is really against the return of the “mainframe age” where software was centralized and very controlled by administrators. Large disks are cheaper than networks. So the net is a graet aooportunity to communicate but not to keep our applications and software.
