De Icaza Responds To Stallman
ndogg writes "It's no secret that Stallman doesn't like Mono. Miguel, however, has been pretty quiet about those criticisms, until now. It seems he'll no longer be quiet. He's responded strongly to an article by Stallman that criticizes Codeplex about its aims due to its origin at Microsoft. Miguel says Stallman is fearmongering, and is missing an opportunity by his criticism."
I agree wholeheartedly that it is highly unlikely that Microsoft will seize any opportunity it gets to do annoying things specially to break open projects. Again.

Damn, my RAM is full of llamas.
It's GNU/Fearmongering. Let's at least give credit where credit is due ;)
I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
So maybe you should stop calling us "evil". We do a lot of good work.
blood, seat and tears.
What, Ballmer was throwing chairs at him?
I am officially gone from
WRONG. Mixing GPL code and non-GPL code results in GPL code.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Thanks Dr. Godwin.
Microsoft's frigging address is One Microsoft Way. How much clearer can they make it?
So the next time we meet, I will not fail. I will go up to the long bearded man and say,
"Hello. My name is Miguel de Icaza. You killed my Mono. Prepare to die."
"Kill 'em all and let Root sort 'em out"
Apple's address is One Infinite Loop. Does that mean they are poor unit testers?
I'm more concerned about the wasting of evil.

If you mix black and white you get gray. If you try mixing free and not-free the result is not-free. Thus Free and Not-free don't mix.
I sure hope you've submitted this post from a 100% Free OS running on 100% Free hardware.
Wow, this is what I love to watch, a biatch fight between 2 geeks
I'm glad someone realized, by the looks of the other replies to my comment I'm about to get e-lynched.
Really, though, I do hate Microsoft and they do perpetuate some extremely counter-beneficial ideas for the sake of their own persistence. It's natural to want to survive, but the people who are Microsoft need to step back and consider where their habits may take society.
"Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"
Even if it was, the moderators have deemed it "Interesting."
I guess that's better than "Informative." But not much.
Copyright infringement is "piracy" in the same way DRM is "consumer rape"
Miguel doesn't even have a beard! Can we really trust someone like that? This alone should end any arguments.
Took me probably fifteen minutes to walk around the whole thing. Infinite, my foot!
But without boycottnovell, where would we learn such interesting facts as Apple switched from PPC to Intel because Jobs wanted to support Vista, or that Slashdot always takes the Microsoft party line.
Without BN, I could have scoured every reliable source in the world, and never have learned those obscure facts.
