[News] Pleasing the Customer While Punishing Developers?

Novell and Microsoft insist customers just love their deal

,----[ Quote ]
| More on this later when I've had a chance to digest it, but the first
| thought is that few people have claimed the deal is bad for Novell
| or Microsoft's customers. The question has been whether it is good
| for the open source movement, open source developers, or indeed
| Novell itself. Those issues do not appear to have been addressed
| by the survey.

Like I said back then, all Hovsepian talks about are "customers". No
community, no responsibility or honour for the GPL, the community, the
developers, and those which Novell refers to as "hobbyists".

Customer don't help with code. Alienate the technical people and sink.
