[QCWA] FW: [Mobileer] Gordon West on Licensing

[Jeffrey D Angus]

Ironic isn't it?

For years, people have been bitching about Gordon selling his licensing
guides. "That's NOT teaching anything, just rote memorization of the
question pool." (Of course, it was mostly aimed at the codeless techs.)

Now suddenly, Gordon's the "hero of the revolution."

What changed?
