On the bright side, competition may be helpful for open source projects. Example: postfix and exim. Other example - squid: no competitors, slow development and ugly bugs.
- leni536 10y agoI wouldn't say OO competes with LO, it's way behind.
- cesarb 10y agoMore than merely way behind, AOO is nearly stopped. The few commits it has seem to be almost all trying to fix build issues.
