Raymond and Perens respond to SCO
Perhaps remember that we are more powerful as a community to the extent we consider ourselves a community and can cooperate on issues as a community, rather than separate factions. In this vein, I consider us all part of one community. In deference to this community's founding nearly two decades ago, I name it the free software community. And within _our_ community is are the Free Software Movement and the Open Source Movement.
Yet, as is so aptly demonstrated with ESR and BP's joint response to SCO, we _are_ a single community. We do have largely similar goals. We are united in our distaste, distrust and outright disgust at the kind of activities seen by SCO.
I consider myself a part of our whole community. I align myself with the Free Software Movement. I respect those who choose to align with the Open Source Movement.
This comment is an essentially semantic issue as is hopefully obvious. I otherwise wholeheartedly agree with your response. Add my vocal support for the work ESR and BP have done so far!
Regards
Zen
