Story: Shadow chancellor slams government over open source
I suppose...
I suppose textile, manufacturing, ship building businesses etc. thought they had a future, where are they today?
The reason IBM among others are supporting open-source is that they want to reduce their own costs and are really more interested in selling hardware and services.
I do not support free software it is anti-competitive and will destroy jobs. Red Hat and others have made a fortune with free labour.
If IBM started giving hardware away for free HP, DELL and Sun would certainly complain as they could not compete.
If you think that there will be enough open source projects to sustain the software industry then you are living on a different planet.
I do not mind the idea of sharing ideas but I also want to share the profit!
