a bunch of hackers against a billion dollar industry
What if this framing was holding us back the whole time?
- marcodiego 3y agoThat was definitely not holding us back. Rejection was not the weapon. The effort was to write the best software, not to kick the other side on the butt. The "other side" did indeed act in probably unethical ways that hold us back. Legal threats, defamation campaigns, lobby... All that was used by "the other side" and that really did hold us back. The SCO scandal and Halloween documents are just very good examples. With reagard to the "bunch of hackers"... well, those were just trying to write awesome software. And they did.
