"communist software"?

That's just stupid. There's nothing "communist" about Linux, and I think you know that.

Let's see...it's 'owned' by everyone...there's no profit...it's just out there for the 'collective good'.

Maybe it's more socialist. No...that still involves government...the correct word escapes me.

Ah...'Collectivist'.

What's after collectivist OS's? Word processors? Database designs? Games?

When, in this software utopia of Open Source Land, do programmers stop being able to make a legitimate living?

I’m pretty happy with Linux because it’s good and very good for specific purposes. What worries me is when employers start thinking that ALL software should be free “Because Linux is” and programmers become the computer industry’s burger-flippers.

We’re seeing this type of attitude cropping up with the Tech Visas right now. It’s only going to spread.
