Ransom Love joins Progeny board

Ransom Love joins Progeny board

I always thought that Ransom Love was the reason Caldera did so poorly. He was constantly saying negative things about the GPL and the Linux community.

The way I see it, if you are legally obligated to distribute your product under the GPL you should tell your customers that A) you love the GPL, B) you would distribute the code even if you weren't legally obligated to, and C) they will love the GPL too. Frankly, to me, a Linux vendor complaining about the GPL is like a restuarant owner complaining about hygiene laws.

Also if you are the CEO of a Linux company, and it occurs to you that the Linux community is a bunch of smelly teenagers, don't post that on slashdot. Keeping your mouth shut doesn't cost anything, and perhaps a Linux user will spend his paper route money to buy your software.
