Its really sad how so many people miss the point of a degree. I wish more people realised that you do a Degree for an education. If you want a training you go to TAFE (in australia - not sure what its called elsewhere).
Although in australia many of the old TAFE institutes are turning into universities. And thats the scary thing: That people who are not learning any theory about computers are getting degrees (from these upscalled training instritutes)
All the practical knowledge that they learn mean almost nothing - because computer languages, and computers themselves change almost every six-months (to a degree that needs relearning).
People should not be complaining that uni makes them learn some programming language that they wont use etc because its how you make the program not what you make it in.
Also Mozilla has been dually licensed under NPL/MPL and GPL.
Mainly so that GPL'd packages can be included in Mozilla. But it means that people can make a fully GPL browser yourself (although the mozilla team would probably be able to make a better one)
