    Good lord, will they be running this out of the Office of Free Thought over at the Ministry of Truth?

    Sun, and other people today announced the Liberty Alliance Project

    In related news:

    Sun has renamed their project 'Enduring Tracking Project'.

    The change was made after the initial name -- ``Liberty Alliance Project'' -- last week ran into objections from some Linux scholars on grounds that only Open Source, or GNU, could mete out Liberty in their view.

    (this is a joke. And it shows no respect to those of the FreeBSD or other open source licenses ;)
