    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 ;)
