The definition of FUD is that you are spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt as a tactic not that you yourself are afraid, uncertain or have any doubts.

- jeffbee 6y agoI think the “spreading” aspect is overstated. These are clearly Google’s internal docs that just happen to be accessible to the public.
- boogies 6y agoThe article: > Ask yourself: why is documentation of internal-facing decisions like what software licenses to use being published in a public place? The answer is straightforward: to influence the public.
- knorker 6y agoSo Google is wrong for being secretive when not sharing, and wrong when they're not because clearly it's a ruse? Heads I win, tails you lose. With that logic you can fit any action into what you already "know".
- throwaway2048 6y agoWhere is anyone accusing Google of being secretive wrt AGPL decisions? The leap to try to accuse people of some kinda weird hypocrisy is a reach.
- jeffbee 6y agoQuite a leap. Much more likely explanation is someone asked someone else to publish the open source docs and they did the minimum amount of censorship needed to get it out the door.
