I doubt that Tony's and my theoretical egos are blocking that message.
Having been involved in Free Software for a good long time before Open
Source come about, I've been repeatedly surprised at how well the Open
Source message has worked with business and the press. This despite
major outpourings of ego by various people, and all the tearing of hair
about what's left out of the message by Richard and even me.
Some messages take on a life of their own. Rather than having to ram
them down someone's throat, they do the work for you. That's what
happened with "Open Source". I'm not sure the campaign you designed
has the same sort of legs.
Thanks
Bruce
