What a conflict!What a conflict!Posted Nov 8, 2006 12:34 UTC (Wed) by N0NB (guest, #3407)In reply to: What a conflict! by danielpf Parent article: On Novell and Microsoft
For a prime example of how important the philosophy of the CEO is to these tech companies, take a look at http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20061104213326242 which is Ransom Love's declaration with regard to the history of Caldera and the SCO Group. Pay particular attention to how the company's attitude turned, almost on a dime, once Mr. Love left the company. Note also, what happened when Ray Noorda left Novell in 1994.
There is a track record through these companies of a visionary CEO's replacement being, if not indifferent, openly hostile to Free Software. Let this be a lesson to those involved as the head of a company making money from Free Software, choose your successor wisely.
