The manorial system in which peasants were tied to their landlords through obligations and fees were gone, as was the corvee and all tithing to the church. The nobility and the clergy gave up their exemptions from taxation.&quot;<br /><br />It&#39;s still an important historical date in France. Just yesterday, there was a <a href="http://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2009/08/03/une-nouvelle-nuit-du-4-aout-est-necessaire_1225262_3224.html#xtor=AL-32280184" rel="nofollow">piece</a> in Le Monde asking for a new &quot;nuit du 4 aout&quot; to end tax evasion by the richest.<br /><br />I figured you wouldn&#39;t be displeased by this coincidence and its resonance with what you set out to do with WSO2...<br /><br />Happy birthday.<br /><br /><a href="http://stage.vambenepe.com/" rel="nofollow">William</a>William Vambenepehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18211054451932113973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439652399294426401.post-60892911931600947682009-08-05T00:15:59.915+05:302009-08-05T00:15:59.915+05:30Congrats on the 4th unofficial official birthday. :-) <br /><br />Looking forward to being able to grab beers with you guys in the future again... maybe at ApacheCon if I make it.Dan Diephousehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07708942179017774256noreply@blogger.com
