Amateur radio enthusiast and Free Software coder, he is one of the more visible
proponents of
Free Software, though he has had
disagreements with
Eric Raymond (
ESR). Lately, he has been very helpful in disentangling the
myriad of "Free" or "
Open Source"
licenses, and has been quite
eager and
willing to
advocate changes when the
letter does not match the
spirit.
He also runs
technocrat.net.
