Software Terminology at Wayne Davison

In an edit for your biographical article you summarized "open-source software is a superset of Free Software, and most of the software I worked on was not GPLed at the time the unidiff was created". Unfortunately the free software and open source software definitions overlap rather than subsume each other. Was the software yo worked on proprietary? Perhaps proprietary is a better phrase. -- 132.198.104.164 17:16, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Wayne Davison requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
