[H-GEN] From Linux.announce

[Frank Brand]

Some of you will have seen this or will see it on the news groups. If
you have not seen it it is probably worth a read. Mostly these articles
take 5000 words to say nothing more than the headline said but I thought
this one was quite good.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

	The August 10, 1998 issue of Forbes magazine is about free
software, and has Linus Torvalds on the cover.  Forbes is probably
the most read magazine targeted at investors in the US stock markets.
It has a paid circulation of over 765,000.

        The cover article gives gives an excellent account
of the dynamics of free software, talks about the Free Software
Foundation,
and discusses the commercial relevance of Linux, Apache, and Sendmail.
Other article in the issue also tie into this theme.

        If you want what is sure to become a souvenir of free software
history, you should pick up a copy at your local newsstand.  You
can also read the coverage on the web from the following URL's:
