Even for closed-source ISVs...Even for closed-source ISVs...Posted Aug 4, 2008 17:20 UTC (Mon) by khim (subscriber, #9252)In reply to: What exactly is the problem? by seyman Parent article: Will LSB 4 Standardize Linux? (InternetNews)
Do you know anything released for LSB? Adobe Reader, Google Earth, Opera, Skype, etc... all these programs are NOT targeted for LSB. If it does not concern open-source ISVs and closed-source ISVs are ignoring it too... then what's the point?

Even for closed-source ISVs... Posted Aug 5, 2008 1:12 UTC (Tue) by seyman (subscriber, #1172) [Link] > Do you know anything released for LSB? Our (grumpy) editor once noted that MySQL and Real Player had been certified LSB: http://lwn.net/Articles/197307/ > If it does not concern open-source ISVs and closed-source ISVs are ignoring it too... then what's the point? Search me... A while back, I became convinced that the LSB was a conspiracy to get all the people interested in running closed-source software on GNU/Linux distributions involved in a project that a) required vast amounts of time and energy to run and b) was doomed to fail, thus minimizing the harm they could do. I haven't seen anything since then that would make me change my mind.
