- Torvalds is a rock-head this time!!
-
"Torvalds admitted that he has a particular dislike for DRM technology because it makes life more difficult for users."
Uh...Linus? It's not just about usability - it's about fairness! And if one lame brain-fart comment at a time isn't enough...what's that about the main reason for doing open-source being "it's fun"?? The main reason for doing open source would have to be either a) to be able to see and vet the code, knowing you can maintain your systems if your vendor goes kerplunk...etc., or b) some sense of community build-this-together-ness without profit motive. I mean...it's also "fun" building a closed-source app - the coding and fun elements are the same, you then release that code under a different license.
So...I dunno...is the old boy "losing it"??? - Posted by: techboy_z Posted on: 01/17/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
