By the way, _the_ CADT is now a friend of mine.  I met Luis Villa at an
EFF event in San Francisco, and he's both a nice guy and a brilliant
lawyer and author.  He, however, was the GNOME volunteer who mass-closed
JWZ's bugs and prompted the famous CADT outburst.

Which Luis has written about, here:
