Why does this suprise anyone. Congress has been preventing it's own taxpayer research from being made public for almost 30 years! If not for wikileaks and renegade congressional staffers these 6,780 reports would never see the light of day.

From Greg Wilkin's blog: http://blogs.webtide.com/gregw/2007/02/12/11712661 20000.html "We should applaud Marc that he at least partially delivered on his promise to distribute the rewards of success to the contributors to the project. But the problem with this OS fairy tale is that the distribution of reward was simply not fair or balanced. While Marc deserved to be well rewarded for his part in the success of the project and business it sustained, I simple cannot see why his reward was several orders of magnitudes larger than that given to the people that actually wrote the software and implemented the business he inspired.""
