    more likely they're pissed off that their major competitors can't have "their air-supply cut off."

  2. A big win for free/open software by Lumpish+Scholar · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There were ten categories. Half of them were won by free/open software: JUnit 3.7, Xerces Java Parser 1.4.4 (from Apache), Apache Ant 1.4.1, JBoss 2.4.4, and Project Jxta. (At least one other, for best IDE, was won by a product with a significant free-as-in-beer version, Forte for Java, Community Edition.) Not bad!
