Re: [fsf-community-team] [project seed] San Fransisco adopts a new software policy

Think this is a good step.

Why not take it firther for the Linux foundation. 

The liux forums should start a creative commons consulting firm to pool all the linux users to help write proposals to pitch as a way to fund the foundation and earn money to reinvest into more projects worldwide.

Cheers all, enjoying the feedback.
