 [...]<br> "So what's going on - why the sudden flood of forks? I think this<br> indicates that we are entering a new phase in open source, and that<br> the multi-year honeymoon for companies seeking to make money from free<br>
 software is over.<br> <br> Of course, making money from free software is perfectly legitimate, as<br> Richard Stallman has emphasised many times. But that does not mean<br> that such companies do not have responsibilities towards the coders<br>
 and communities that support them. Moreover, simply abandoning<br> software projects because they no longer fit into the latest flavour<br> of corporate strategy is not a good way to win friends in the open<br> source world. If such projects don't fit with that strategy, the<br>
 solution is to help them to become independent, not simply to chuck<br> them away like old boots."<br> [....]<br> <br><br> <br> -Santhosh<br> <br>_______________________________________________<br> Swathanthra Malayalam Computing discuss Mailing List<br>
