A new source of anti-GPL FUDA new source of anti-GPL FUDPosted Nov 21, 2003 17:23 UTC (Fri) by vblum (guest, #1151)Parent article: A new source of anti-GPL FUD This was a conference contribution. From the conference program (web site) "Open Source Licensing: Understanding Its Possibilities The conference itself sounds quite aggressive (mostly focused on "how you can make more money and beat everyone else", IMO; the fun thing to me is always that "everyone else" is also supposed to be present at the conference), but the above abstract sounds less blatant than the press release. I wonder why they chose such a single-minded and misleading wording for their press release? Anyway, they got it wrong, haven't they? It's not about "understanding its possibilities", it's about "understanding the philosophy and working with it." Sun and OpenOffice are a good example.

Almost everyone on this list is threatened by Open Source Software, and are thus highly unlikely to hire a bunch of lawyers to do an Open Source positive presentation during their little get together.
