	Open Letter to Rand by Roy Childs
		One of the major characteristics of your conception of government is that it holds a monopoly on the use of retalitatory force in a given geographical area.
		In an Objectivist society, the government is not open to competition, and hence is a coercive monopoly.
		Let me then halt this letter by repeating to you those glorious words with which you had John Galt address his collapsing world: "Such is the future you are capable of winning.

	Response to Darl McBride's Open Letter
		Open Letter to the Open Source Community your offer to negotiate with us comes at the end of a farrago of falsehoods, half-truths, evasions, slanders, and misrepresentations.
		Your implication that the attacks are a continuing threat, and that the President of the Open Source Initiative is continuing to shield their perpetrator, is therefore not merely both false and slanderous, but contradictory with SCO's own previous behavior.
		This history is open to public inspection in the linux-kernel archives and elsewhere, with numerous instances on record of Linus Torvalds and others refusing code in circumstances where there is reason to believe it might be compromised by third-party IP claims.

		We quickly and carefully re-reviewed our contributions to open source, and found brief fragments of code matching System V code in three generic routines (ate_utils.c, the atoi function and systeminfo.h header file), all within the I/O infrastructure support for SGI's platform.
		We take our responsibility to the open source community seriously and are confident that we have an effective process to verify the quality and integrity of our contributions to Linux.

		In that letter we raised our opposition to issues surrounding criminalisation of tools, the issue of liability, sanctions on copyright, enhancing mutual legal assistance, and increased investigative powers.
		As a result, we are following up with this subsequent letter to reiterate our past concerns, address some of the changes, and shed more light on a subset of these concerns.

	Open Letter to Professional Scholars
		The open access we now enjoy has been a necessary component of the authoritativeness that the SEP has achieved on the web, as measured by its high ranking in various search engines, such as Google.
		In addition to open access, it is important to remain a self-publishing academic project and avoid becoming a part of an academic/non-profit or commercial publishing house.
		We shall endeavor to keep the SEP open access during the fund-raising period — the option of restricting access to institutions which don't contribute to our funding plan will be exercised only if it is required for self-preservation to eliminate the free-rider problem.

	The Paradox of the Best Network
		The best network is not only simple, low-cost, robust and innovation-friendly, it is also best at promoting a free, democratic, pluralistic, participatory society; a society in which people with new business ideas are free to fail and free to succeed in the marketplace.
		The new network — open, fast and out of control — will change what is most important about us lonely humans: the way we join together with others to become more than we are alone.
		More important, these regenerated monopolies would be as loathe to open their network or to invest in new technology as the current crop of telephone company incumbents.

		Finally, as developers of open source e-mail technologies, we are concerned that no company should be permitted IP rights over core Internet infrastructure.

		At present the United States trade negotiators are putting enormous pressure on WIPO to schedule the diplomatic conference by the 2nd quarter of 2006, and to include a highly controversial new IP right for "webcasting," which is defined extremely broadly.

	IBM urges Sun to make Java open source \| CNET News.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Open-source advocate Eric Raymond earlier this month also sent Sun an open letter, telling the Java steward that the company had to choose between control and ubiquity of Java.
		By making Java open source, Sun would be inviting the participation of open-source developers and help fuel usage of Java, particularly in conjunction with other open-source software, he said.
		But given the growing interest in open-source software and recent positive comments regarding open source from Sun, IBM thought the time was right to open up a dialogue, said Bob Sutor, director of WebSphere infrastructure at IBM.

		They love that we're open sourcing Solaris, and that we'll be the first open source vendor to offer a commercial version of our product with indemnification against intellectual property lawsuits.
		The principal mechanisms through which we've maintained that dialog are the Java Community Process (the most comprehensive open process in the history of computing); and the evolution of our NetBeans open source development environment.
		The popularity of the open source movement, coupled with the economics, security and pervasive adoption of the Java platform, puts Sun's desktop in the pole position to drive new volumes in the PC industry - allowing the same effects now driving Java on cellphones to build momentum on personal computers.

		More enterprise-class support: Open source projects might have been launched because of a desire to move away from proprietary vendors, but corporate users still want the kind of support those types of vendors provide.
		A sense of stability: We understand that creativity and freedom of expression are key drivers in open source software, but as IT managers responsible for running mission-critical data centers we want to know that today's hot project won't be thrown by the wayside tomorrow.
		A commitment to stay open: As open source becomes more widely deployed, there might be the temptation to close some things off.

		I respectfully suggest to Open Source developers that this is a far better use of your collective resources and abilities than to defend and justify flawed intellectual property policies that are out of sync with the needs of enterprise computing customers.
		Rather than ignore or challenge copyright laws, Open Source developers will advance their cause by respecting the rules of law that built our society into what it is today.
		Further, the SCO Group is open to ideas of working with the Open Source community to monetize software technology and its underlying intellectual property for all contributors, not just SCO.

		Even when there are multiple free software distributions, and numerous programs which can be used for the same function, interoperability is guaranteed as much by the use of standard formats, as required by the bill, as by the possibility of creating interoperable software given the availability of the source code.
