A quick introduction to tmux

I learned about GNU screen as a young sysadmin (whoa! I can let this long upgrade process run while I drive to the office?!). I've heard great things about tmux, but at this point my screen usage is fairly simple and everything is set just the way I like it. I haven't found something compelling enough to move me out of my rut to try tmux.

The decline of GPL?

I agree with you on the observation that there's a new generation of developers who have never known anything but FLOSS as an "acceptable" option. There's some irony, though, in your statement that public corporations can't be friends to the community that is posted on a community-oriented site sponsored by a public corporation.
