Responses to ADTI Paper
Everyone and their brother has something to say about the silly and incoherent ADTI paper released yesterday. It doesn't even seem worth the effort to me - it's so internally inconsistent that I can't imagine it convincing anyone of anything. Nevertheless, David Skoll of Roaring Penguin has a good rebuttal, and Newsforge ? pointed out that the MITRE study that's been kicking around for so long is now public, and took a look at the differences between the two. Update: 06/11 18:43 GMT by M : Another rebuttal, by John Viega and Bob Fleck of Secure Software.

Fuck you and all the commies you represent you half-wit fucktard. I hate you. Christ, you're so fucking stupid. Marx was wrong. You people are doomed to fail so cut the horseshit and just stop sucking dick. It's fucking gay. I hate gay people. They are bad for the economy. Are fat cans good for the economy? I say yes. Keg party tonight at your mom's ass you fucking douchebag. Eat shit! Eat my shit you fucking douchebag. I hate the French.

Don't you fucking forget it, fucktard faggot. Shit is shit and you are shit and fuck you and fuck your mother. Shit-cum-blood monkey. Fuck. I am so mad at "TargetDrone." He pisses me off with his blatant stupidity. Skateboard dude is fucking gay.
I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but these arguments are getting silly.
It seems to me that the whole proprietary vs "open source" boils down to an argument of how we share things.
Proprietary = I have cool toys, make it worth my while to let you play. Maybe we can share toys, maybe you keep the bully away from me if you get to play with my toys, or maybe we can make another arrangement. I'm not going to tear your head off if you borrow my toys without permission, but we might end up in a little spat.
ie - capitalism
BSD = we do it for the fun of it, do what you want - if you can make a profit, cool!
ie - pure research (historically good for buinesses)
GPL = you can play with my toys, but if you do you have to let me play with your toys. Mom and Dad are going to enforce this. These toys are magic, they can't even be traded for non-sharing toys.
ie - communism - although somehow people are arguing that this is pro-business?
At this point in the game, the commune is small and can still function, but as it grows it will self destruct.
Do you *really* want to get government burocracy involved in your OSS commune?

Neither does Microsoft's software, really. Oh sure, they will replace the media, if your willing to pay $20 to $30 dollars, but if you read the Microsoft End User License Agreements, they take responsibility for nothing. At least with free software, you know what your getting.
