yep, I was acknowledging that... basically saying: you don't know how right you are... and yeah a total creep, I wouldn't want my government to buy anything from someone like that
no, in spanish that reads like "develop using free software tools" ridiculous as it is. And in the context that's the only meaning that makes sense as he's talking about why a company wouldn't want to use free software when developing.
(btw, I'm from Argentina, and spanish is my native language.)
"El único problema es que cuando desarrollas basándote sólo en 'software libre' tienes que hacer productos gratuitos y es muy difícil gestionar una empresa de esa forma"
translates as:
The only problem is that when you develop only based on free software your products have to be free (as in beer) and it is very difficult to manage a company that way
How is this mindless bashing?
He said ""El único problema es que cuando desarrollas basándote sólo en 'software libre' tienes que hacer productos gratuitos y es muy difícil gestionar una empresa de esa forma" translation: "The only problem is that when you develop based only on free software you have to make free (as in beer "gratuitos") products and it's pretty hard to manage a company in that way"
and he said too: El directivo colombiano aseguró que, aunque "respeta" las decisiones de los gobiernos, éstos "deberían dedicarse a mejorar la vida del ciudadano"
translated: "The colombian executive asserted that, even though he "respects" the decisions made by governments, they "should dedicate to improve the life of citizens" (as opposed to make software)
this second statement, coming from an executive of a U.S. company, is pretty inflamatory for a lot of people in Latin America.

Latin America is pretty strong about free software and open source these days. He's saying it because some governments, like Brazil are adopting free software en masse.
Worse, much worse for the company image here in latin america, he stated that "goverments should stay out of the software business and make things better for people" source:http://www.elespectador.com/imagen-224529-hernan-rincon-habla-del-software-libre .
We really don't like a representative from a U.S. company telling us which things lie within the scope of our governments. That should be obvious to anyone who has a slight clue about latin american history on the last 50 years. And this man is from a latin american country, and that startles me most.
"Some laws stifle learning and need to be changed, but most do not."
let me rephrase that: "some things in the universe relate to this discussion, but most do not"
Those few laws that stifle learning are the issue.

btw, the guy also said that if you use free software for development you are condemned not to sell your products (source: http://www.elespectador.com/tecnologia/articulo-224528-microsoft-tilda-de-propaganda-promocion-del-software-libre)

how well does it compare to filesystems like ZFS and reiser 4 feature-wise and performance-wise ?
