Isn't this where the Open Source/GPL community feel-good factor falls apart?
Let's say I'm one of the developers working on some free software. It's open source, lots of people can/have contributed. But then the major user of this software gets sold for lots of money to a company, let's call them "EthicLog", whose reputation is mixed, at best, and pretty awful from my own experience. Sure, the software is still open source and GPL but other people have benefitted at my expense. I've been sold down the river, I've been had. Open Source/GPL may be a good idea, but not when some people profiteer on the back of other people's efforts. That's the way it is, isn't it? -- Mark Norton ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Norton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4722 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28873 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
