2003
October
Daniel Lyons' writing is only useful for its humor value. I'm amazed
that Forbes was willing to publish (non-ironically) this
article
he wrote about me and Eben Moglen entitled Linux's Hit
Men
(archive.org
link). I never thought doing GPL enforcement made me the equivalent of
Tony Soprano. I think Lyons' analogy machine is out of whack.

Perens responded with an open letter a few days later.

Text, and POD) was published at The
Perl Conference 5.0 in San Diego, CA, USA. (Pages 68-72 in the proceedings.)
June
Matt Berger quoted me in an article
entitled Microsoft
Is Open to Open Source
(archive.org
version). It was interesting to note that at a time when Microsoft
was attacking the GPL, they distributed software under its terms, and
makes the later coverage in 2009 when they released a Linux driver
somewhat silly.
May
