Re: US Government 101...

Of course he'll be dictated to. But he's damn well going to be a well-paid flunky, and those free-software advocates don't have the scratch.

According to the News.com article, "The assembled band of free software devotees said later that they believed they had won a commitment from the Commerce Department to include a representative in a future roundtable. But (Phillip Bond, Undersecretary of Commerce for Technology) did not seem to agree. ’I'm not going to be dictated to,’ he said."

Isn't the sole purpose of a government official TO abide by the *dictates* of the people? ALL the people...not just the ones with billions of dollars and huge corporations?

How does that foot taste, Mr. Bond?
