Not only did he release the World Wide Web itself as free software (by dedicating it to the public domain, as is healthy for scientific research), he continues to be a vocal advocate of abolishing software idea patents and preserving the freedom of people on the internet. It's not clear from <URL:http://tbldownunder.org/> what his public lecture will be about in particular. But this is certainly someone of special interest to members of Free Software Melbourne. -- \ “Oh, I realize it's a penny here and a penny there, but look at | `\ me: I've worked myself up from nothing to a state of extreme | _o__) poverty.” —Groucho Marx | Ben Finney
