This is a beautiful example of FOSS culture at work.
In what world would corporate, closed-source software engage in this kind of earnest truth-telling without the propellers of mergers, acquisitions, or takeovers?
- pluc 5y agoI agree, but also in the corporate world there would be incentives for innovation to better compete or finding niche markets. It's not all bad
- Macha 5y agoHowever, that competition might come in the form of a more effective sales force, rather than a more effective product
- funcDropShadow 5y agoIn the floss world that competition could come from more active social media presence, which is marketing - nothing else.
- robertlagrant 5y agoThat can still be done better by people paid to do it full time.
