[License-discuss] The value of open source

[Lawrence Rosen]

Below is the acknowledgement from an important paper published today by
CERN. “Observation of structure in the J/ψ-pair mass spectrum
<https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.16957.pdf> .“ Don’t bother reading the paper;
like most physics results it is generally incomprehensible to laypersons.
But please see the sentence highlighted below in yellow. Be proud. /Larry
