Also, a larger number of people just don't understand that Linux won't accept patented/FRAND term technologies. There are too many gray hairs and not enough young guys who attend the IETF....

I don't think it's a generation gap, Jim, but a cultural gap that crosses generations.

Yes, there is a cultural gap with those who haven't dealt with FOSS. It isn't just an age issue.

But there is some correlation with age; UNIX was not FOSS, and I see correlation with gray hairs (of which I have more than a few). If my career had wandered off into other directions, I would not have the perspective I have.

And I've spend years working in the IETF, for better or worse.
