I'm sure a pensioner in Glasgow waiting for a hip operation because of an underfunded hospital will see this use of his tax Pound as reasonable.

that's right dave - no arts project should ever get funded right?!

if you really want to talk about arts funding then it's more yer high profile toff temples like the royal opera house - funded by us all, subsidising the minority toffs who like opera.
anyway that's NOT THE POINT OF THIS POST IS IT. Stop trolling and trying to turn every post on indymedia into an argument!
OPEN SOURCE - YES. gets my vote. and my cash :-)
