Story: SAP slams open source 'socialism'
So what is wrong with socialism?
Most economists agree that the concept of socialism is great, the problem is that it has never been shown to work without slipping into dictatorship.
So if OSS is socialism, and it works, great!
It has been my opinion since I started using OSS that it was the first demonstrated working socialist system.
The only reason calling something 'Socialist' automatically makes it seem like a bad thing is because of all of the scare tactics that took place back in the McCarthy era.
So, yes, OSS is socialist. More power to it.
