This cannot be...This cannot be...Posted Nov 24, 2003 23:53 UTC (Mon) by bojan (subscriber, #14302)Parent article: A new source of anti-GPL FUD "Your employee could grab a piece of open-source code off the Internet and you no longer have a proprietary product. Your $50,000 software package is now worth zero," Steve Henry, a senior intellectual property lawyer with Wolf, Greenfield & Sacks, P.C., told the Software Business 2003 Conference in Boston. When he says that, he obviously doesn't know that this is completely impossible. We all know that only in the depths of the *illegal* free software world, code isn't checked for ownership (e.g. that's how Unix code ended up in Linux). In proprietary software companies, people *always* know where the code is coming from. At least that's what Darl is telling us. And if he says that, it *must* be true. Right? Sorry, couldn't resist but to ridicule this whole thing. Where do these people find such idiotic ideas?
