Free Software For Politics (Howard Dean Alert!)

From the unintended-consequences dept.

kevin lyda writes "The Howard Dean campaign is releasing software for web-based communities under the GNU GPL.
The project apparently is based on drupal. See here for more info, and here for the software. Regardless if you're for Dean, against Dean, or you're not an american, it's great to see a american politician on the national level using and promoting free software. I wonder if RMS thought he'd see a US presidential candidate releasing stuff under the GPL when he founded GNU 20 years ago!"

Dean's blog site appears to have been slashdotted.
