"Knowledge is common property – only
special benefits should be patentable."
„Knowledge is not susceptible to exclusive
property"
Thomas Jefferson.
These are some reasons why I have been dedicated
for the Open Source movement
I am interested in Computer Science since the very
early stage of personal computing.
When Internet became popular, I focused on network
security.
Due to my activities with police agencies the topic
was extended into forensics.
