Evolution of a 100% Free Software-Based Publisher

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday May 7, 2006 @07:53AM from the cutting-a-trail dept.

NewsForge (also owned by VA) has a quick and interesting look at the evolution of a 100% free software-based Italian publisher. From the article: "Today, Sovilla acknowledges that choosing a 100% free software workflow complicated his working life. He also notes, however, that a great part of his troubles came from an early start, at a time when programs such as Scribus weren't mature enough yet. Today, he says, the situation has improved considerably, and publishers who are willing to experiment with an alternative software platform can, and should, try it without fear."

That's because there isn't a difference. Code that you can't change, modify, or improve is evil.

Haha, thanks for confirming it. I guess you only buy also open source houses, cars, food and so on (so that you can for example buy a tomato and "change it" into chicken meat if you believe that's better for the humanity);
