[Consortium] strange n00b post or: how I learned to embrace open source and stop making money

I think they will, Ron Stewart has been in touch with the boss there.

Potentially, and I know what you mean, but I can see that word scaring 
off companies like Beat Kangz. Maybe we should use a word like 
'tweakable' instead. The currently fashionable word seems to be 'pimped' 
but I'm not too keen on that word being applied to Free Software, given 
its sleazy origins :-)

Cheers!
