Story: Microsoft: 'We should learn from open source'
I tend to seperate the ideas of "Free Software" and "Open Source Software" (OSS). OSS is more about having the freedom to share code to make better software. Having the software free is just a way to get more people involved in the development. RedHat and other end user Linux software is based on the works of the community. RedHat just makes it easier for end users to use Linux and they deserve to be paid for their services. So I don't really see what the big deal is about what Microsoft is saying...how is this an end of an era?
