In the last few days, Bruce Perens, Eric S Raymond, and Linus Torvalds have all responded to the appallingly laughable letter by Darl Mcbride in way that certainly should put people on notice...
The Open Source community is ably represented here by three men noted for plain speaking and, at times, left of centre ideas and notions. Fine. When necessary, they have all now shown, by these outstandingly coherent, gracious, and intelligent responses, how mature the Open Source community truly can be at need.
Darl must be seriously worried now - MAJOR misjudgment mate - we may be idealistic (yes, as if thats a bad thing in itself...), but we are also a formidable combination of creativity, intelligence, passion and professionalism.
You cant beat that with your smoke and mirrors Darl.
