	Alexis de Tocqueville Institution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its detractors claim that the AdTI is a freelance astroturfing organization and that these reports are written at the behest of its financial backers.
		AdTI is linked to Dr. Fred Singer in the tobacco documents [5], the Cooler Heads Coalition [6], Consumer Alert [7], Heartland Institute [8] [9] and the Competitive Enterprise Institute [10] [11] [12].
		The AdTI is known for publishing a series of studies beginning in 2002 on the theme of intellectual property in the software industry.

	Samizdat's critics... Brown replies
		AdTI insists that development such as this is an accident waiting to happen; something that will seriously impact both Linux users and developers.
		The final reason why AdTI decided to focus on this issue is because we learned that in fact, Prentice Hall took all of this very seriously and had previously sued a programmer for unauthorized development of Minix.
		AdTI argues the best way to solve this problem is to create a more substantive pool of true, free open source code.

	Wired News: Report Flays Open-Source Licenses
		A spokesman for the ADTI said the report published last week was an old, unedited version that had been accidentally pushed on the Web.
		ADTI's report says that "open source as a development model is helpful to the software industry," but it says that the GPL flavor of open source is too "restrictive," and that it could lead to security problems in government and financial problems in business.
		He said that although ADTI receives funding from Microsoft, the funding was for the organization, not for specific reports.

	Blind Ambition
		ADTI was backed by a Japanese behemoth, Mitsubishi Rayon Co., which had poured some $5 million into the company and in return received access to its fiber-optic technology.
		ADTI spent $1 million developing a laser as a light source for its screens.
		ADTI, with its marbled lobby and overstuffed boardroom, struck him as a free-spending outfit.

	Anti-open source ‘whitepaper’ devastated \| The Register
		The AdTI says that the free software community is a "myth", but fails to explain the tens of millions of lines of high-quality code produced by this mythical community.
		AdTI raises the hoary old "Total Cost of Ownership" issue, but does not demonstrate that proprietary software is more cost effective.
		AdTI ignores studies like the one from CyberSource or even Roaring Penguin's own case studies in Free Software in the Real World.

	Sadly, No!: Things that make you go WTF???
		These detail how ADTI was hired by PM to conduct a public relations campaign against the Clinton health plan in 1994.
		ADTI provided PM with regular progress reports to prove that PM was getting value for its money, so they also let us see how these campaigns are conducted.
		The ADTI is infamous in the software industry for their constant bullshit.

	Alexis de Tocqueville Institution - SourceWatch
		The Alexis de Tocqueville Institution (AdTI) is an industry-funded organization which publishes propaganda from major corporations, giving it an air of respectability.
		AdTI claims that they "follow the principles of Tocqueville himself...among these liberal ideas are civil liberty, political equality, and economic freedom and opportunity".
		AdTI is a part of the stable of conservative think tanks with their commentary regularly posted on the websites of the Cato Institute, Heartland Institute, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Science and Environmental Policy Project and other websites.

	Acid Drainage Technology Initiative - Metal Mining Sector ADTI-MMS
		ADTI’s mandated task is to identify, evaluate, and develop cost-effective and practical acid mine drainage (AMD) technologies and to address other drainage-quality issues related to mining.
		In 1999, ADTI was expanded through the addition of the metal mining sector (MMS) group.
		ADTI now addresses MIW drainage quality issues related to metal mining and related metallurgical operations, including pit lakes (ADTI-MMS) as well as MIW from coal mines (ADTI-CMS, coal mining sector), for future and active mines as well as for historic mines and mining districts.

	William Hazeltine, AdTI, S. Fred Singer and Tobacco Serial Murder corporations
		Since the man is dead, it makes little sense in pinning more crimes on him than is necessary to prove that he was completely corrupt to the core as proved by the previous document citations.
		AdTI should not be there to offer corrupt services to Microsoft, because the evidence of AdTI's illegal lobbying for tobacco clients is on the internet.
		This document says the report is written and signed off by AdTI execs and authors, they prefer no major rewrite by the tobacco company or else the authors need to approve it all over again before putting their names to it.

		It later turns out that AdTI didn't interview Mills and Jones at all, but rather lifted the text from a private bulletin board.
		The comments are basically about the question of whether it is useful to companies for their engineers to be involved in open source projects.
		The AdTI book on the origins of Linux seems to have been fairly resoundingly debunked here and on Groklaw.

	NewsForge \| Anti-Open Source lobbyists need love, too
		Media Transparency has records on AdTI from 1998 through 2000, and if you follow the links to AdTI donors, you'll find that they are generally on the right (even far right) wing of the American political spectrum.
		Just to show you how credible AdTI's research is, a 1994 AdTI paper entitled "Science, Economics, and Environmental Policy: A Critical Examination" is often held up as a supreme example of "junk science" used by tobacco companies and anti-environmentalists in their attempts to alter public policy in their favor.
		Brown and his cohorts at AdTI are good at their job, which is to convince you that what's good for their sponsors is good for America and, indeed, the entire world.

		"What ADTI is all about is a recognition of the need to strengthen the technology base in the areas of acid drainage prediction, avoidance, and remediation." ADTI will address all sources of acid drainage, beginning with coal mining, then turning attention over time to include hardrock mining.
		"ADTI is a technology development program," he said, "not a regulatory program nor a policy development program." ADTI has already developed an industry/agency/NMLRC management structure to oversee the program and identified key technical areas.
		The job of ADTI is to give the regulatory agencies and the mining industry even better tools in the future." ADTI welcomes the participation of experienced technical experts among academics, private citizens, and consultants who are willing to volunteer their time toward the success of ADTI.

	The CORRUPT Alexis de Tocqueville Institution (AdTI) smear campaigns on Linux
		Evidently AdTI is attempting to hide their information, and has wholesale removed data pages from their website recently.
		In 1993-1994 AdTI assembled a team of the most corrupt people working in science to obscure the health hazards of smoking and second-hand smoke from cigarettes.
		Many of the AdTI team players are still active to this very day taking huge payments from various dirty industries to confuse issues and smear the reputations of their opposition.

	Linux News: Software : ADTI: Ready for Round Three with Open Sourcers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The ADTI report comes about six months after the organization released a manuscript claiming that Linus Torvalds wrongfully appropriated key parts of MINIX in the first version of Linux, and that this alleged legacy has forever tainted open-source software, creating a climate of piracy.
		During that time, a senior fellow at ADTI, S. Fred Singer, was listed as the main author of an influential report that was submitted to legislators and at several trials as justification for not taking strong action on the issue of second-hand smoke.
		Much of the money that ADTI has received has come from sources generally considered to be conservative, such as the Scaife Foundation, and indeed, worldwide many of the organizations that most oppose free or open software are conservative.

	Technology News: Software : ADTI: Open-Sourcers Skirt Copyrights
		The ADTI poster quotes an unnamed source, the implication being that the source is a member of the open-source community.
		Relying on estimates of how many lines of code typical programmers write, Brown concludes in the report that Torvalds could not possibly have produced the amount of code in the original Linux kernel in about six months, as is currently believed.
		Senior ADTI fellow Gregory Fossedal said that he wasn't sure who had written the posting.

	Anti-open source ‘whitepaper’ devastated \| The Register
		AdTI loves this refrain, but has yet to prove it.
		AdTI implies that reverse-engineering is "close to IP infringement", but they never say why (and their sentence doesn't even parse.)
		If the AdTI would give us concrete examples of legal concerns, we could discuss them, but as it is, all we are given is conjecture, hand-waving and supposition.

	NewsForge \| AdTI at minute 14:59 -- think tank now charging for anti-Open Source white paper
		Sullivan says the price is to pay for bandwidth costs -- AdTI wasn't expecting the kind of interest in this paper that it's received, he claims, even though the original press release for the paper was filled with inflammatory rhetoric about Open Source software used in government being a potential target for terrorists.
		When I responded to an ADTI e-mail requesting my comments for inclusion in their paper, I made sure to tell them they could not use my comments unless they either published their question and my response in full, or cleared with me the use of a smaller quote and it's context.
		ADTI agreed to consider publishing an addendum, but that was over a week ago and I haven't heard from them since.

	Techworld.com - Think-tank report lays into Linux
		The report follows on from controversial studies in 2002 and 2004 in which ADTI president Kenneth Brown spotlighted alleged security concerns around the open-source development model and challenged Linus Torvalds' claim to have invented the Linux kernel.
		ADTI's critics have noted that Microsoft is one of the think-tank's financial backers, a fact acknowledged by ADTI and Microsoft, although ADTI has declined to discuss the funding of specific reports.
		Regardless of its funding sources, ADTI has an openly critical stance toward open source software, which it refers to as "open sores software" and "hybrid-source software" in a news section devoted to the topic on its website.
