Tim O'Reilly very smart man and technical book publisher, has an interview in the New York Times about open source (subscription needed) and what it means to the Internet. It says something when people like Tim are picked up by the Times.

A dramatically passionate article from a Lawyer Eben Moglen, a professor at Columbia Law School, talks about why Microsoft's recent attempts to discredit open source are an attempt to convince small device manufacturers to run on GNU/Linux, not Windows CE. Not sure if this is true, TiVo runs on GNU/Linux with no problems.
