    Ow, I'm sorry - I was actually writing open-source software this month.
    Kind of a "philosophy of the deed" ;)

    I think that things like copyrights and patents are about politics and
    money, and thus can be found at the social level. Also I see that the
    "hacker world" has a tremendous energy on both social and intellectual
    levels, I think this can be related to DQ very easily. Try comparing the
    hackers[1] movement with the hippy movement - sure a lot of things are
    different but there are some tendencies feeling very alike. As for
    copyrights, hackers tend to dislike them for good reasons, so they
    obviously belong to/are part of SQ.

    ... since my software project is nearing it's deadline I have no time to
    reply on the rest of your post at this moment ... maybe tomorrow.

    [1] "hackers" does not mean the same as "crackers" to me - see
