Munich opens gates to Linux (vnunet)Munich opens gates to Linux (vnunet)Posted Jun 28, 2004 12:01 UTC (Mon) by cpm (subscriber, #3554)In reply to: Munich opens gates to Linux (vnunet) by allesfresser Parent article: Munich opens gates to Linux (vnunet) That's pretty hopeful. But it doesn't change the nature of the marriage between autodesk and microsoft. I'm not aware of the nature of Mr. Walkers views of Microsoft, but his views of Linux and the GPL play out pretty well here, http://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/rat-butterfly/ I have a great deal of admiration for Mr. Walker, but I don't agree with him very much. I was an autocad pilot from 1989 through 1993. Once the software went to windows, I pretty much lost interest in it altogether. I didn't like windows then, and I've not liked it much since.

And if you don't like how Richard operates, it is possible to still write software for Linux. As the rat said in the fable, 'whatever it takes', right? Port your software to Linux, make your users happy, earn a living, etc. So it seems Mr. Walker is laboring under an unfortunate misunderstanding...
