There is an MP3 file that I have which is a debate on the issue between Dickinson, director of the US Patent Office, and Tim O'Reilly who has a small book publishing business ;-). I don't remember where I got it from or who owns the copyright on it. But I figure if you haven't heard it before, it is worth listening to. It's rather shocking. If anyone knows the original attribute to this file, please let me know (so that I can link to the original): http://www.david-steuber.com/audio/mp3/patentdebate.mp3 The file is 6536946 bytes. You won't find any links to it on my site because it is probably copyrighted material that I don't have a license for. -- David Steuber 302 E.
