ESR Gets Job Offer From Microsoft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday September 9, 2005 @04:39AM from the now-that-would-have-been-hilarious dept.

epsalon writes "Eric S. Raymond, the well known Open Source Evangelist, recently received a job offer from Microsoft, that he strongly refused. Is this another attempt to lure Open Source figures or just ignorance?" From his post: "I called [the Microsoft HR rep], who told me my name had been passed to him by his research team. I indicated to him that I thought somebody was probably having a little joke at his expense, and promised him an email reply."

I love computers, and I love Free software, but I hate this man.

Your hatred is so deep that you post AC, unwilling to put a name behind it. Your opinion is noted and given due weight - 0.
