Perens Discredits Mundie's Attack On GPL

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-said-piece dept.

SaxMan101 writes "CNET has an editorial from Bruce Perens that quite handily dismantles Mundies attack on the GPL and the Liberty Alliance. He takes the time to make YA strong argument for free software which he backs up with real numbers. Well said, worth the read."

    Yeah . You can count on future articles from MS not to stretch the truth or misrepresent reality in attempt to manipulate people.

    OH, I like what they said about the Xbox scratching disks in Japan:
    `The scratch does not affect game
    playing.''
    "Microsoft say the scratches should not reduce the lifespan of the disks."

    Yeah... scrathed DVDs are just as good as ones that aren't scratched! We all knew that. Nice credibility even on the smallest things.

    You expect a debate on MS FUD to stay calm and reasonable? On Slashdot?

    You're harming me!
    If'in I can't take the code that you produced and take it without compensating you and use it to build my own successful megabucks empire - YOU'VE DESTROYED CAPITALISM - you pinko communist.

    That's what capitalism is! Exploiting the workforce! [Sheesh]
