BitKeeper: No holds barred open source infighting
Talkback Actually, what the article writes is not true. First of all, the free BitKeeper license does not state that you cannot use BitKeeper (BK) to help develop a competing product; it states that you cannot help develop a competing product *at all*.

BitKeeper: No holds barred open source infighting
Talkback Lies and misdirection from ZDNet? Why stop now. The open source community was begged to use the tool. Only a small percentage used it, and only a small percentage agreed to not reverse engineer it.

Talkback This article would be far more insightful if the author actually attempted to get the facts rather then the hype generated around this. It would be impossible for Andrew Tridgell to violate anyone's end of the bargain considering that he never...

BitKeeper: No holds barred open source infighting
Talkback Many people only read the first page, or even the first paragraph or two of an article, and this article gives a very anti-Tridge slant from the beginning. Comments supporting what he did don't appear until page two.

BitKeeper: No holds barred open source infighting
Talkback First, Linus' response to Tridge's actions was uncalled for and over the top. He accused Tridge of "tearing down" Larry's work, which it has been established was NOTHING of the kind. This was obviously an intemperate comment on Linus's part due to...

Desktop Linux for small business
Talkback The thing that keeps me away from employing Linx is all the infighting and Microsoft bashing that goes on all the time. Linux users are largely miscreants. I need a computer, not a source of grumbling, eletism and controversy.
