I'm sure Niscenus will like this. Some dude I never heard of is getting 50 grand a year to help make open standards. The kinds that don't require payment to operate.

"I've been working the past two years on this issue, sometimes with very generous support from HP," Perens said. "But it became kind of a problem for HP, because I would say things for open source that would be very embarrassing to the company. I need to be able to say what I want to say, and thus people who send me money may prefer not to have their names associated with the donation."
