[Liverpool] Techworld FUD against Open Source Software

[aidan mcguire]

My friend Julian at the publicwhip had a really good idea and maybe  
its being done now to scrape articles written by journalists or  
publications to see if any patterns emerge. Do they always hold the  
line or do they appear to promote contradictory causes. As he once  
explained some press orgs just print out any old press release sent  
in without bothering to check the facts “Fortify jumps on the Meta  
open source bandwagon”

Thank you Julian for pointing out this out –

read instead Gyn's blog...
