Monochrome Mentality

I got a friendly, even positive, response from the Frederick County Public Library. However, since the person who responded made it very clear that they are not able to make public statements on behalf of the library, I will not re-post the letter. I was directed to Elizabeth Cromwell, the press relations manager for the library, and hopefully she will be able to provide something that can be “on record.”

I will say, however, that I got the impression from my initial response that DRM is an issue with libraries. Furthermore, in keeping with the concepts of keeping information open and available, the FCPL does run Free Software.

Upon review, the submission form I used was a Perl script with a liberal, BSD like license. The server hosting their site is Apache. :)
Maybe the response could be more interesting than I originally expected. :)
