This looks like a finely baited mousetrap to me. ID card idea attracts high-level support www0.mercurycenter.com Silicon Valley software mogul Larry Ellison's proposal to create a national ID card has gained substantial ground -- and the interest of top Bush administration officials -- in a signal that the controversial idea may be closer to reality than ever. <snip> Ellison unveiled the idea three weeks ago in an interview with a Bay Area TV station. In it, he offered to donate the software. His company, Oracle, based in Redwood City, is the world's leading maker of database software. He is among the world's richest men, with a fortune estimated at $15 billion. <snip> Ellison said that if he does donate the software, maintenance and upgrades won't be free. I hope the decision makers note that "free" could be very expensive. cuf@getcompetitivebids.com
