Maybe software services could harm free software after all (and other news from
the Open Source convention)
,----[ Quote ]
| What worries free software advocates is that their software can be enhanced
| without sharing the source, if the software is hidden behind a web interface.
| I claimed that this is not really a threat to the free software movement
| because modern languages and development tools make it so easy to replicate a
| service. In fact, we have so many people creating so many services that
| nobody has time to try all the ones that interest him.
