Doesn't that just piss you off?
This is not what RMS and the "Free Software" advocates say about making money from free software.
What this guy is saying is, we'll take open source and embed it in our proprietary products and we don't owe anyone anything.
- loumf 16y agoYou can make money from free software (according to RMS), you just can't restrict usage and exercise of rights. It amounts to what LE is saying -- sell the support. If Oracle includes GPL software, then they have to make the software that embeds it GPL as well. Apache is different.
