Credit and Free Software
Hans Reiser - you're thinking ReiserFS, and you'd be right - has a proposal to slather Free Software with credits for its authors. Good? Bad? This is something the community has generally moved away from, but maybe Reiser has a good point. Newsforge is part of OSDN.
Then the new GPL Secured Platinum Card from RMS is for you! All the credit you ever wanted, in one small piece of code.
