    That's because nobody programs for QNX except you. Why don't you program for a real OS?

    > You complain when you don't have participation

    Who complains about not having whose participation in what?

    > when companies refuse to release their products under the OSS model

    I could not care less about anything called the OSS model, because that is not well defined and the few fuzzy definitions around do not struck a cord with me. I care about free software, preferrably copyleft.

    > then you complain when someone releases software that, in your view, is useless.

    If I see it as badly done and useless, should not I complain?

    What could he learn there that he could not, probably better, in gcc or a Lisp compiler?

    > The intangible goodwill encourages another company to open something else.

    There are many other, much better, examples. So your point is true but underwhelming.

    A very uninteresting piece as I see it.

    > Not every act has to change the world, you know.

    Yet not every act should be as shoddy and half-hearted, yet it seems that is so.
