Thank you ! This interview is really very good. I wish that more people, in positions of influence and power, become as humble and clear in their reasoning, as this man is.

The frequency of the perceived light coresponds roughly to color. The frequency of the perceived sound corresponds roughly to pitch. So I think that "quiet" to "loud" is analogous to "pale" to "bright&quot

Yes, I read the license ... in fact I read both of them ... The license that you pointed, is for the 64bit version. However the MenuetOS 0.85C, for which the news item is about, is the 32bit version, and it is licensed under the GPL: http:
