FSF Debuts "Shared Source" Initiative

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the long-overdue-those-hoarders dept.

matty_x points to coverage at NewsForge of the Free Software Foundation's new 'Shared Source' program. Cynics might call this selling out, but it actually makes a lot of sense for the FSF to listen to customers about what they really would like and benefit from, rather than only to developers and freeloading users. Bravo!

    Take a break from Slashdot, and do your *income taxes*. That's what I'm doing, and I sure hope that when the IRS employee sees my fat check dated April 1st, he'll think "this gotta be a joke", and trash my submission entirely.

    Next you're going to tell me that Wil Wheaton is set to get a recurring role on "Enterprise".
