off-topic: Economics of Linux

[Linas Vepstas]

FYI,

Allow me to spam the mailing list, if I may ...

Wrote up an essay abou the 'economics of linux adoption'
and got it onto kuro5hin last weekend

http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2001/6/23/3451/16661

It talks about the macroeconomic and the microeconomic forces
driving the adoption of Linux.  Its a writeup of the topics 
I gave at a class at the UT Business School, so its really aimed
at business students, e.g. has a case study in the middle.

After responding to user comments, the fully-spellchecked,
expanded, revised version is at
