Open source flexes its muscle at OSCON (ZDNet)
ZDNet's David Berlind
went to OSCON. "Eric Raymond, president of the Open Source
Initiative, was comparing open source to cockroaches as he explained to my
13-year-old son the simplicity of open source, why it has caught on with
such rabid intensity, and why the buzz was undeniably vibrant here at OSCON
'03."

OSCON, with the emphasis on ``OS'' Posted Jul 11, 2003 22:04 UTC (Fri) by Max.Hyre (subscriber, #1054) [Link] I find it amusing that, aside from some footer boilerplate, the only occurrence of the word free or its derivatives/compounds was in a mention of price---``the acquisition costs (free in many cases)''. That pretty well sums up the article. By the way, the cockroach comparison was to proprietary-software bugs (i.e., they scatter from the light), not to Free (or even open-source) Software. Best wishes,Max Hyre
