LOL, most open source zealots despise Marc Fleury from JBOSS simply because he wants to make a profit. From Linux Insider:
http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/49754.html
"Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates may be the most hated man in open source software circles, but Marc Fleury could come in a close second."
Said Fleury in his defense:
"I was desperate to make a living, and no one was paying for that. I am very proud to provide the best place to work for 60 developers and 30 absolute superstars, but that doesn't go without breaking eggs. When you make money and you talk about money, you're going to have some violent opinions thrown back to you. Linux was cute, because they have a penguin for a mascot. I don't make a very good mascot. If we had a possum, we wouldn't have any problem. From the get-go we did not expect anything except pure hate from these players, and that's what we get."
I cant thank you enough for making that point when you noted that an individual started a company around OSS software development and support and not too many years later sells that company for 350 Million to another company which was started around OSS software development and support.
And I know you're always concerned about Developer jobs in the US so I am sure when he says "I am very proud to provide the best place to work for 60 developers and 30 absolute superstars" showing that a small OSS company provided jobs, put money into the economy, added value to a product for business, provided a cost savings for business to be used other areas, and made a nice profit for its owners.
All of this despite that fact that the nutball stallman probably does not like JBoss and still all of this happens right under his nose. By pointing out that the more stallman like members of the OSS environment are not happy about this you're pointing out that Stallman does not call the shots..
Its really nice to have you backing my position for a change, have a nice day..
We need to work on your terminology. Rabid Stallmanites attack anything that is not pure in Stallman's vision. Those are the people about whom both you and I probably have the same point of view. There is no point in bringing them up in an argument against us because we agree on them.
Then we get to the people who think open source (in general, not just the GPL) is a good practical idea, can produce grat software, save money, and even make money. They don't have a loyalty to any one license, although they may prefer one on practical terms (I like the MPL). Unlike you, they recognize that an author has the right to release his works under whatever license he chooses, and we respect that right. We'll call these people the Torvaldists given the public clashes the practical Torvalds has had with the idealist Stallman.
I haven't seen one FReeper I'd categorize as a Stallmanite, yet you continually try to portray us as such. This is a source of most of your demonstrated lies.
