  I published 24 books on Open Source software as series editor of the //[[Bruce Perens' Open Source Series>>url:http://www.informit.com/promotions/perens-series-page-135563]] //of books with Prentice Hall PTR publishers. This was the first book series under an Open Publication License, before Creative Commons existed.

  I am active as a member of OSI's license review committee, and helping OSI handle some gnarly political issues that threaten Open Source. I've had to do a lot of explaining this year about why Open Source is the way that it is, that OSI should be able to do for itself - for instance seriously explaining to companies, lawyers, and standards committees why Open Source doesn't have patent royalties, and why the license rules are the way they are. Things that are logical, but not obvious. Mostly to people outside of OSI, but even OSI, after several generations of leadership, has forgotten some history and doesn't always have the words that they need.
