Apple failing to understand open source

| There is a cost for not being a good Open Source citizen and that
| cost is loss of goodwill in the community. That loss is more
| expensive in the long run than Apple realizes.

Applying "The Art of War" to Open Source, Linux and BSD
,----[ Quote ]
| Ask most people who have made the switch to a libre software product
| like Linux or BSD and they'll tell you that we're in a fight with
| Microsoft and everything that the closed-source world represents.
| It's not just us - Microsoft certainly thinks we're in a battle as
| well. Senior Microsoft leadership are actively engaged in spreading
| Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt to undermine the public confidence in
| Linux. Lawsuits have been filed over "stolen code" in the Linux
| kernel. Thinly-veiled "IP infringement" threats have been made to
| businesses running Linux. Massive marketing campaigns are being
| waged to confuse the true Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of
| Windows and Linux products.
