Criticizing Linux is like criticizing a minority group - if you do that, you'll have the NAA(L)CP, ADL, etc. all over you.
This guy will have the Linux geeks all over him (although they probably don't read Forbes, since many of them think money = bad). Just like the woman journalist who wrote something bad about Linux a few months ago, and the Linux geeks got hold of her home phone number and started harassing her there.
"These companies used to have to pay to develop Unix. They had in-house engineers who wrote new features when customers wanted them. Now they just allow the user community to do their own little hacks and features, trying to get to the same functionality level, and they're just putting pennies into it," De Raadt says.
I've been saying this for years. These kids spend their college years writing and developing software and giving it away, then after they graduate they cry because no one will pay them to do it! Why? The kids behind you are still doing it for free, so why pay you?
Great post.
