Cambridge CompSci here,
Dr. Anderson, apart from his academic work, is known to be a very powerful and influential scholar in Cambridge. He also orchestrated a campaign against university so that the scholars can own their intellectual property rather than the university and was very successful in his campaign. So it is no surprise that his response to such a phony request is glorious.
- amirmc 13y agoI'm not sure that's accurate. There are a bunch of rules etc about 'IP' in general. I've no doubt Ross was involved in the process but 'orchestrating a campaign' seems a bit grandiose. http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/research/research/ipr.aspx http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/research/research/ipr.asp...

- amirmc 13y agoThank you, I stand corrected. I was aware of the copyright issues (where the University tried to say it was theirs) but knew less about the general IP 'land grab' that University undertook.
