   Notes that DARPA's funding cut is "a gesture that has echoed throughout
   the free software community".
   Refers to the AP article below, and has lots of links to
   other articles.

   Another take on the ongoing saga, with some interesting remarks:
   Reporter Jennifer Lee comments that the controversy
   "highlights the delicate balance between the military and the
   anti-establishment bent of some in the technology community. It
   also shows that the international pool of computer programmers and
   hackers, possessing vast technological expertise, is not entirely
   sympathetic to the American military's current role in world
   affairs." Notes the discrepency between DARPA's public position
   and what the people working on the UPenn project have been told.
   <br/>
   Describes Theo de Raadt as "A respected Canadian computer programmer ...
   the 35-year-old founder of an international collaborative software project
   known as OpenBSD", and quotes him as saying that the hackathon will go on:
   "We are free people, we are hobbyists," he said. "We do this for fun."

   Another retelling of the tale, similar in scope to the NYTimes.com
   article above.
   Quotes Theo as saying: "The hackathon will go on," de Raadt said.
   "There's no way I'll be taking 60 people's personal flights and
   wasting them."
