| So, why then have so many players turned
| their back on their moral obligation to
| repay the value open source has brought
| into their lives with an equal or
| reciprocal effort?
|
| The only answer I can think of is greed.
|
| Uninformed hardware vendors (who are
| feeling the pain of the economic downturn
| worse than the other players in the IT
| market) are some of the biggest culprits,
| bundling freely downloadable versions of
| Linux and products that aren't backed by
| any form of support infrastructure on their
| desktops, notebooks and servers â and
| claiming that they support open source.
