And I think that Caldera and Red Hat -- and there are a number of other Linux companies going public -- basically show that yes, you can actually make money in the open-source area.”<BR/><BR/>Caldera is probably not a good example for how to make money on free software anymore...

You don't make money as an open source programmer; you make money servicing your open-source programs. Which is tough for the little guy to do.<BR/><BR/>I believe in open source on the platform end and for tools that benefit a lot of programmers (and, yes, ordinary people) like Linux, FreeBSD, Apache, MySQL, Python, PHP, Java, Firefox, and all that.<BR/><BR/>But I think there's nothing wrong with using proprietary as the end result, as the actual product. At least in this capitalist economy you have to pay the bills somehow, even if you're only making something for consumers who aren't going to buy professional support.<BR/><BR/>My 2¢Jacobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16149852901741123847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-41442184318784555572008-09-22T07:10:00.000+08:002008-09-22T07:10:00.000+08:00Wow dude that is some seriously fascinating stuff.<BR/><BR/>Jiff<BR/>www.anonymize.us.tcjoshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05260713742352903700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-75188063776015511762008-09-22T06:35:00.000+08:002008-09-22T06:35:00.000+08:00Bruce,<BR/><BR/>Please allow me to copy all the stuff you created please thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-88580845185288805992008-09-22T06:04:00.000+08:002008-09-22T06:04:00.000+08:00The problem with the concept of intellectual property is that it is a first-past-the-post system, and the winner takes all. There is no room for duplication regardless of originality. The assumption is that duplication is theft. As IP is allowed to extend to relatively low-level problem/solution sets, the building blocks of larger solutions are made off-limits, rendering larger solutions impracticable. As the very purpose of low-level patents is frequently to render r&amp;d in a specific area impracticable rather than to create a specific innovation and distribute it for profit, entire solution sets are restricted to a narrow class of patent-holding r&amp;d organizations, with no exemption made for the public good. The creation of intellectual property is the pre-emptive theft of ideas from the human race.Brice Timmonshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09672682183128998922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-50385291378507528382008-09-22T05:08:00.000+08:002008-09-22T05:08:00.000+08:00Well said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-73623619180261506912008-09-21T11:51:00.000+08:002008-09-21T11:51:00.000+08:00"Intellectual property" seems like a non-sensical concept to me. Just because you wrote some code, why does that give you the right to control how and when everyone else in the world makes copies of that code? And why does that give you the right to control whether or not people can come up with similiar ideas to your own, or can make improvements to that idea?Christopherhttp://www.indicium.usnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-67474669855131163892008-09-21T05:47:00.000+08:002008-09-21T05:47:00.000+08:00I would rather use a free operating system (GNU/Linux) than stealing a proprietary operating system (Windows) that is not worth paying for!<BR/><BR/>SlippJiggAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
