We have to accept that there is a little more culture on this side of
the Channel (c'est à dire, the side I am on at the moment).
Back in Blighty, Linux magazines are full of articles about PHP
programming and reviews of FTP clients and internet browsers. Here they
review software for translating Latin, inter alia.
And we learn that Saint Augustine was an early proponent of Open Source:
Omnis enim res quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur; nondum
habetur quomodo habenda.
(All those things which can be given without being used up, as long as I
possess them without giving them, I do not possess them as I should.)
De doctina Christiana, I, 1.
