Those Who Can...Those Who Can...Posted Oct 22, 2004 15:53 UTC (Fri) by hppnq (subscriber, #14462)In reply to: Those Who Can... by Prototerm Parent article: Why open source is unsustainable (Financial Times) I think it's more a problem with columnists. I suspect some of them will write anything in order to catch some attention or make a few extra bucks, not to deliver a particular point of view. It is unfortunately much easier to dump your uninformed or intentionally controversial opinion somewhere than it is to respond to it, so you can easily get away with it. And of course a bunch of hairy zealots are a much better target than big corporations you might want to stay friends with. For a professor of law, who has apparently read the GPL, this should be a rather embarrassing column. It's like a professor of physics struggling with Newton's Laws. Pretty pathetic. (Maybe that "Distinguished Service professor" is a title that can be bought?)
