Yes, weird chat indeed. And I was about to start sleeping while
typing, until I found something to fix the caffein cycle. The chat
system was very confusing as well, two windows that started scrolling
and didn't stop... Very confusing.

Marketing droids. Commercial software often is different to Free
Software. With commercial software you often have one license per
seat/machine/person/whatever. With free software, you're invited to
use the software as much as you can. Hence, some people are thinking
how to increase their income by using Free Software (and thus reducing
development costs) but introducing the old licensing model.

Yes. One of our speakers promised me to write up a report as well,
but it's not yet online. It'll probably linked and/or featured
directly from linuxtag.org
