Again, I can't overemphasize that this kind of hardball, take-no-prisoners approach is very much the exception and that ISO (and the national bodies) simply aren't prepared to deal with it.
So who's fault is that? This is a very simple & predictable conflict of interest. Many organizations have developed numerous effective ways of dealing with it. They couldn't learn from that & set the necessary safeguards so I can't help but think they share some of the blame.
That's exactly it. Due to the large amounts of cheap labor, China's entrance into trade/production acted just like rapid technological progress or a massive supply shock. Nations replaced higher-cost suppliers with lower-cost ones just as they would have if production technology advanced at home. Frankly companies didn't really have much of a choice.
Credit is at best a secondary concern. The real issue here is the technical lead of this OS's kernel gets credit for the movement but doesn't care about your freedoms as much as you might wish. And you can't do anything about it except talk about the guy who's really been fighting for you all along. I find myself almost wishing for a Bitkeeper-like debacle this time involving the GPLv3.
The irony is it's your freedom at stake here with the GPLv3. RMS doesn't care much about credit. You're biting the hand that feeds you because it has a beard & is slightly overweight. It would be a joke of cosmic proportions if it weren't so tragic.
Philosophy isn't very pragmatic and Linus prides himself on his pragmatism.
But pragmatism is philosophy. It's a philosophy that says "lets make decisions based on short term practical concerns." It's another way to disregard people's desires without actually saying you disagree. If someone can't easily quantify how much some freedom means to him, do you automatically disregard it?
Linus doesn't believe people should be able to run code without artifical hardware restrictions and should be called out on that instead of being allowed a pass due to 'pragmatism'.

Tell me, Mr. Anderson... what good is a megahurtz... if you don't know where it is?

I don't get the modding on this site. Many others later said the same thing & got modded up for their trouble.
Was there any loot in the fridge?
So they're including weekends too?
