Open Software & Constitutionally Protected Speech

[Scott Ripley <sripley@cyberstation.net>]

slashdot.org seems to be having a problem with their DNS, and changing
subnets. None the less, there is a very interesting feature about First
Amendment Rights, and source code. The date on the article seems to
suggest it was "Contributed by sengan on Tuesday August 11,
@10:00PM", but perhaps this is because the time hasn't been set on
the new system. The URL makes me believe it is current. If this has been
discused previously, I would appreciate a summary from the moderator.

http://207.218.152.112/articles/980811/2153219.shtml

The slashdot.org discussion forum does not seem to be functioning from
this URL, but perhaps it will begin working again once the DNS problems
clear up.
