Last Chance to comment on Microsoft Settlement

The DOJ's proposed settlement, which could have a serious negative impact on the open source and linux community, will probably go into effect unless enough people argue against it. The deadline for commenting on the proposed settlement is *this Monday*. If you have any interest in the issue, and have not yet written the DOJ to comment, I urge you to do so *now*.

For a fine call-to-action, see

Or, if you're on the Microsoft side, visit

They make you register before they'll tell you
how they want you to help, but they do sell
a cool 'Freedom to Innovate' t-shirt
( http://www.msftstores.com/enginepublic/product1.cfm?itemid=534 ; note the tasteful use of the American flag).

I've put together a site about the proposed settlement and reaction from the press and the Open Source community (at http://www.kegel.com/remedy/ )
and an open letter to the DOJ
( http://www.kegel.com/remedy/letter.html ).
I invite US citizens and residents (unfortunately, the DOJ will probably ignore comments from outside the US) to join my open letter; instructions for joining are at the top of the letter. I'll be sending it in first thing Monday morning.
