I just want to point out that when someone works for free and puts another person out of work, families fall apart, companies fold, and people do get hurt. It's not all upside. You're absolutely right Rob! All us free/open source programmers are responsible for war, famine, disease, pestilence, and every evil known to man. We did it all. On purpose. When not reading 8052.com messages, we're all on the VastConspiracyNetwork.org message board plotting our next caper. So don't get rid of your tin-foil hat just yet. If you wanna stop us from dominating the world, and taking your job, you also gotta go after all those evil charities--you know, the ones who do stuff for free, thereby depriving hard-working people of their justly deserved salaries? And the libraries! Bunch of pirates distributing Intellectual Property to people who haven't paid for it! Godless Communism it is! And no more free parking at the shopping mall! After all, you wouldn't want to destroy some parking valet's family, would you? And to prevent all those companies from folding, how about you get your congress critters to pass a law making it mandatory for everyone to buy everything sold by every company? Yeah, that's the ticket! Think of the prosperous times that would bring. Sheesh. A lot of open source software is cloning of someone else's work.
Hogwash. Have a nice day :-) |
