    That is incorrect. You always own the source unless you are providing work for hire. Eg. a photographer owns the photos even if the were shot for a company.

    The obvious question beccons: "where is the replacement".

    I've certainly seen this trend and been filled with rage and anger after a great/helpful question was closed for being open ended. I believe it had 4 possible resolutions based on my knowledge of the subject matter and I would have loved to have seen those 4 answers posted.

    So hows that Kool-Aid?

    It's delightful but you seem to have missed the point. I am saying that people are free to fix bugs at their leisure for FOSS projects, for enterprise applications you are not permitted (usually) to fix a bug because it exists. You have to prove that there is a value add from fixing the bug and that value add cannot be that it makes your life easier (unless you can provide quantitative measures of productivity increase)

  12. Re:Defects fixed for proprietary may differ. on 450 Million Lines of Code Can't Be Wrong: How Open Source Stacks Up · · Score: 1

    Correct, as a developer I'd like to fix bugs in my enterprise level software but the overhead required to do so is high enough to outway the benefits.

    On the other hand, if you are a developer for a FOSS project you are able to correct broken code at your leisure, submit it for peer review and have it accepted. The overhead is still there but it's spread out to feel less visible (IMHO). I'm perfectly fine writing a fix and having it be rejected for being inadequate. I'm less okay with spending 4 hours having people sign things so that I can correct a defect that takes 2 minutes of development work.

  13. Defects fixed for proprietary may differ. on 450 Million Lines of Code Can't Be Wrong: How Open Source Stacks Up · · Score: 2, Informative

    Propietary defects are ones that may cause financial harm. FOSS defects are ones that cause annoyance.

    I know that our code has more defects than we'd consider fixing purely because the CBA isn't there.

    Sadly this will be the solution. Make it so unthinkable to try and find vulnerabilities that nobody does it. Except those whom are willing to use them maliciously and willing to pay the price for their noncompliance.

  18. Re:Why Amazon on Samsung Want To Sell Liquavista To Amazon · · Score: 1

    Samsung, one of the (if not THE) leaders in display manufacturing technology, could not find a profitable way to make these things. And now Amazon - an internet ecommerce website that has zero manufacturing experience or capacity - wants to see if it can do any better?

    Perhaps Amazon is one of the only clients of this firm. After all the type of displays they make are ereader displays. It would cut Amazon's overhead by having their own manufacturing and give Samsung capital to hire more lawyers.
