Perens Discredits Mundie's Attack On GPL

Are you living in a cave? Or were you too busy contemplating your own navel?
As I've often said on this weblog-turned-"Open-Source-lovefest", Open-Source software will *Never* achieve the same level of usage as Commercial software does unless the quality and quantity of Open-Source software equals that of Commercial software.
Based on that, we should see Linux with as much acceptance as an OS as Windows is today in 2023 - that should give the developers enough time, based on their current development schedule/timeline to have those nasty core/root bugs resolved enough and have Linux as easy to install and maintain as Windows.

I don't give a rat's behind about "karma" here or anywhere else. Don't like what I have to say here? Deal with it!
