cheers, Rich. 

This is NOT a significant difference from the processes that SHOULD occur 
in academia.

In other words, (once again) free software may have been influenced by 
academia in its origins ( TeX, Knuth, and the academic maths community 
spring to mind) but now the important influences (even if they are more 
potential than actual) are in the opposite direction.
