"Freedom and security necessitate not just being allowed a peek at the code."
"Transparency in the Windows world normally means self-reports commissioned by Microsoft, or access granted to outsiders covering very limited portions of source code under strict agreements that limit sharing that information."
Yup, John Sullivan really ignored that.
You can disagree with the FSF's mission, but they are certainly not spreading lies on purpose.
- Sanddancer 13y agoThe source agreements are far more than just a "peek" at the code. I would still argue that Mr Sullivan is at the very least distorting the truth, if not outright lying. The FSF has its agenda, and has proven it will try to distort the motives of any entity that doesn't completely agree with it.
