thanks for posting that, interesting, nice cat!

I note that in 1962 Philips introduced the compact cassette and licenced
the format free of charge under pressure from Sony (what pressure? and
contrast their fight with JVC over the dominance of VHS versus Betamax
video tape cassettes).

So the idea of free licencing preceded that of free software by more
than two decades.

Just a thought.
