We will NEVER win the FREE software war, no matter how many battles we have won or will win. It will all be irrelevant, as long as the current economic, Geo-political paradigms (central banking model) are in place, then Free/Open Software will never grew to its' maximum effectiveness.
In smaller countries like Scandinavia centralization works VERY well. That is due to their homogeneous nature. In US, we may require something decentralized and more resilient model to have the Free/Open Source software movement. Something where people have incentive to work on good software without wanting to get bought out by the next google or facebook.
- dllthomas 13y agoWhy does FLOSS need to be centralized?
- treenyc 13y agoSorry, maybe I miscommunicated something. They don't need to be centralized. Although I do think TRANSPARENT centralization can play a benefit part of the ecosystem. I just meant in other aspects of government, everything is very centralized in Scandinavia, and it seems to be work very well there. However, that should not be translated to US, where we have much larger and diverse population. I hope that make sense?
