Why I choose copyleft for my projects
,----[ Quote ]
| The four freedoms together and giving them to users of the software were
| paramount. I should acknowledge here that Terry did not say this was the sole
| or main reason copyleft was chosen. When I made my decision I particularly
| considered those who would deploy the software because that’s the place in
| which I so often find myself. Both my projects are web-based so the web
| administrator is the target user. So I guess my decision was made on giving
| those four freedoms in largely that order of importance and to the web
| administrators.

,----[ Quote ]
| Throw it in as a "bonus you can't say no to": "By the way, this software is
| yours now, you can share it, hire someone to make it better and use it
| without intrusion, which is thanks to this avantguarde philosophy spearheaded
| by the Free Software Foundation."

Vista's big problem: 92 percent of developers ignoring it
,----[ Quote ]
| Such appreciation for history is not likely to warm the cockles of
| Microsoft's heart, especially when Linux is getting lots of love from
| developers (13 percent writing apps for it this year and 15.5 percent in
| 2009).

Coders Tell Why They're Avoiding Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft Corp. undoubtedly wanted to avoid its current predicament. It has
| been publicly talking up features in Vista since 2003 -- half a decade.
|
| But such "overmarketing," as Krasowski calls it, can rebound. Experienced
| developers have become jaded towards the third-party apps Microsoft trots out
| as exemplars of Redmond's latest technology -- "demoware," he calls them --
| that sparkle with flashy animation and video.
