Murphy's Law: Open-Source Should Go Unrewarded
,----[ Quote ]
| Why do open-source programs win awards? Or, rather, what is it about
| open-source that makes us so prone to dishing out accolades--as if the very
| nature of a program being open-source somehow makes it indistinguishable from
| any other common application you can use.
|
| [...]
|
| It almost sounds like common sense. When throwing awards into the open-source
| community like bread to a flock of ducks, don't just give a single duck all
| the bread. Stop throwing up generic awards like "Best Open-Source Instant
| Messenger," because that means little compared to the ways a program has
| succeeded in the critical areas that make open-source unique. And, seriously,
| let's save the accolades for groups or companies that embrace the "open" part
| of the phrase instead of those that find clever workarounds to sell more
| paid-for versions of the programs. Maybe that can be an award in itself: Best
| Licensing Workaround.
