Re: [PLUG] Hard hitting article re Gnome desktop
|
Hard hitting is certainly not the description that I would
use...perhaps sucker punch or just plain bitchy. If the author
(Dennis Powell) wants to make the point that Eazel would never have
gotten and then squandered that $13M if not for the bizarre business
practices of the past few years, that's one thing. But offhand slaps
at the FSF like "that the Free Software Foundation found
insufficiently 'free,' based upon its made-up definition of the word."
isn't worthy of anybody's Op-Ed page. If he has an issue with the
philosophy behind the FSF, he should say so rather than paint them as
wrong-thinking twits. Disagree with them if you like, but don't try
to simply discount them because they think about "free" differently
and will take a stand on that.
This is worthy of a troll somewhere, but an opinion page..no.
