I have to agree with Linus on this one, here's his statement from the
article mentioned above:
"Me, I just don't care about proprietary software. It's not "evil" or
"immoral," it just doesn't matter. I think that Open Source can do
better, and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is by working on
Open Source, but it's not a crusade -- it's just a superior way of
working together and generating code."
yes ... I believe the model is better, and eventually most software
will be open source.
Probably not all software, but the dominate method will be OSS. To
focus all this energy describing non-oss process as "evil" and
defining ourselves in it's terms .... its just bad form and beside the
point. Relax, be happy, let the OSS process do it's thing over time.
It will win because it just works better and makes more sense.
M. Harrish, I respect many of the things you say and your
participation on the list -- you have directly helped me in the past
and know much more about linux and software in general than do it --
but I believe that your approach to this issue is wrong and more
harmful to OSS than otherwise.
"religious ferver" is inappropriate, everywhere.
It stops a thinking mind, and divides the world into un-reasonably
simple components, and concieves fantastical imaginary battles between
wholly irreconsilable players ... it's "untrue" at least as much as it
is "true".
