- Open source, development method or moral philosophy?
-
I'm not certain that efforts to separate the two will always be successful. Many of the people who are supplying the work that allows reduced staff expenses are probably doing so because they believe to some degree in open source principles.
What happens when they realize that the work they do to reduce the monetary value of software is actually being exploited to provide substantial money to distributors?
Interoperability is unlikely to be the issue that makes the issue unavoidable. Cooperation like that between Microsoft and Novell appears useful to both sides. Novell because the ubiquity of Microsoft ceases to be a hindrance and instead becomes a sales point. While Microsoft receives some PR benefit and increased opportunities to displace Linux in the future.
No, the trigger incident would be something like news reports of Red Hat executives receiving salaries of $10's of millions annually for selling what devotees have given them free. And without the slightest effect on proprietary software, which continues to employ as many people as before.
That could generate outrage expressing itself in a Court battle. - Posted by: Anton Philidor Posted on: 09/12/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
