The DOJ's proposed settlement, which could have a serious
negative impact on the free software and open software communities,
will probably go into effect unless enough people argue against it.
The deadline for commenting on the proposed settlement
is *this Monday Jan 28*.  If you have any interest in the
issue, and have not yet written the DOJ to comment, I urge
you to do so *now*.

For a fine call-to-action, see

Or, if you're on the Microsoft side, visit
http://www.microsoft.com/freedomtoinnovate/
They make you register before they'll tell you
how they want you to help, but they do sell
a cool 'Freedom to Innovate' t-shirt
( http://www.msftstores.com/enginepublic/product1.cfm?itemid=534 ;
note the tasteful use of the American flag).

I've put together a site about the proposed
settlement and reaction from the press and the Open Source
community (at
[download]

 )
and an open letter to the DOJ
( http://www.kegel.com/remedy/letter.html ).
I invite US citizens and residents (unfortunately,
the DOJ will probably ignore comments from outside the US)
to join my open letter; instructions for joining are at the
top of the letter.  I'll be sending it in first thing
Monday morning.
