(Novell Releases Mono 1.2 With Enhanced Support for .NET on Linux)
EASTERBROOK to http://www.catb.org/esr :-) "People willingly pay for
quality software even when they can get free (but imperfect)
substitutes. Open Office is a free, open-source suite of word
processor, spreadsheet and presentation software, but the proprietary
Microsoft Office has many more users. Gimp is a free, open-source
image editor, but the proprietary Adobe Photoshop enjoys the lions
share of the market.
...
The GPL and open-source software have nothing to fear from the
antitrust laws."
Oracle et al (Microsoft will probably join soon) will now supply
ancillary Linux et all (including Mono) support services with a
vengeance. Goodbye Red Hat, Novell and IBM in thier "services"
business model.
What a perfect work, smarty EASTERBROOK.
regards,
alexander.
