    ... never make open-source development an important part of your business, because if you do, your developers can walk out and sell the code you paid them to develop.

    (Unless you sign them to non-competes, which I can't believe the JBoss Group didn't do.)

    I ask the same question on every inane M$ bashing fest that gets posted here - apparently when there's trouble in Open Source paradise the standard response is to say "please move along, nothnig to see. No big deal. And why did this get posted anyways??".

    Beautiful.

    ...some geeks dramatic, self-involved narration of what people do every day (i.e., generally called "quitting") is worthy of Slashdot headlines? And concerning the article itself, just about the only factoid I could derive from it was that someone has read a bit too much Gibson, and taken it to heart.

    Yeah, 'cyberpunks' rule. Phhhhpht!
