Alliterations aside, the only "myth" is in Hilf's own brain. There may
be some developers out there who wore tye-dye t-shirts, travel in
Winnebago vans, and had a taste for the tree, but there were just as
many buttoned up developers that have never listened to the Grateful
Dead once.
And I love this line from that article: Hilf said that the Linux
phenomenon had nothing to do with Linux, but rather it had a lot to do
with Apache, MySQL and PHP. It was those applications which pulled Linux
up with it, the "Visual Basic of open source."
Look, I'm happy for people to speculate until the cows come home, but
please mark non-technical posts as [OT] or take them to the OT list.
