What ordinarily might have been an issue barely worth noticing became a loud, public dispute in Linux and BSD circles.
Seriously, is there anything that doesn't turn into a large, public dispute when the open source community (and their overly large egos) are involved? Whether its constant squabling over scheduler FUD, Linus Torvalds saying that security professional are just running around "wanging opinions", people freaking out about GPLv2 vs GPLv3 vs BSD, or this latest issue, it seems like we have sev
Why can't people in the FOSS movement just get along? They like to bash Microsoft and talk about how it is attacking other developers/companies/3rd party groups, but FOSS can't even get along within its own movement. At least Microsoft doesn't attack itself.
Actually, I am. Microsoft developers aren't out there bashing each other. I don't know why you guys aren't seeing my distinction. There are always people who bash any product. Even though slashdot mostly is a pro-Linux crowd, people bash Linux too. But I don't know of any other product development group that degenerates into infighting over every little development issue that comes along.
And to counteract the objection that these are seperate projects, you don't hear Microsoft's XBox 360 project team bash
