#4 Re: Life's EULA and the Ownership Society Posted by PJ_at_Belzabar_Software (61.246.xx.xx) on Wed 7 Feb 2007 at 12:48 Niyam Bhushan, a very likeable GNU/Linux nut here said it very well in an opinion piece in the local linux mag in India. Essentially, he asked what are people going to remember about our era 900 years from now? Celebrities? MS vs Linux? Tech? Like hell they will. Niyam showed that in the vast span of history these sort of things are really a passing zeitgeist of no real permanent value that vanish without trace in the unrelenting sands of time like the grandiloquent Ozymandias. Instead, he declared, (in a heady mix of Osho guru wisdom, pop zen and flower child gushiness) that love is the only real permanence. He concluded that he expects our era to be remembered as the era when the spirit of sharing was first explicitly declared, fought for, and valued. Something like that anyway. I thought it was actually quite profound. PJ PS, Niyam, if you ever stumble on this blog comment, feel free to add that essay here.
