Free software is still legal
Posted at 6:45pm on Sunday, November 12th, 2006I have to admit to not having heard anything about this story until now, when it appears to have already run its course. Still, it’s a fascinating (if very flawed) argument that Wallace puts forward…
As an aside, I do wish El Reg would stop sniping at OSS… Comments like “And even though these new products might be clunky, difficult to use and inaccessible to all but the geekiest of geeks, such a cooperative is not illegal” are painfully indicative of the paper’s opinion of OSS; perhaps they have forgotten that (among other things) the Apache and PHP that drive their website is Open Source?
