Has MySQL Betrayed the Open Source Community?
MySQL's recent deal with SCO has caused some flaming with certain segments of the open-source community? Is the deal simply a reflection of a business that is growing up and making the sorts of deals common to everyday business practice? Or is it a betrayal of open source and what it stands for?

THe first question is intriguing - I say (re: SCO) "Innocent until proven guilty no matter what it smells like until then" - in other words, slow though it is, let the processes (legal & extralegal) run to completion BEFORE we can see whether or not SCO has done what so many accuse it of. THEN and ONLY THEN can the first question be asked (of MySQL's action) without the rank smell of crowd-thinking hypocrisy and damn the evidence (all of it) attitudes (about SCO). P.S. I am not an SCO supporter or user, but I do believe in fair process, otherwise what kind of "philosophy" are we "debating" here??? |
