Estonia's Open Source Shame
,----[ Quote ]
| The question is, why does Mr Kallas keep on
| spreading this misinformation? It's hard to
| know whether to ascribe this to darker
| motives or to simple ignorance. But either
| way, it's clear that every time Mr Slim makes
| these unfounded attacks on open source and
| open standards he does little honour to
| either himself or the country he represents
| in the European Commission. He should not
| only refrain from making further such
| comments immediately, but also offer an
| apology to the people whose work he has
| slighted in this way.

Of Estonia, Language, and Open Standards

| This kind of linguistic misunderstanding
| about the implications of openness wouldn't
| matter too much were it not for the fact
| that this particular Estonian is Siim
| Kallas, vice president of the European
| Commission: for someone so senior to have
| such a confused idea about what open
| standards involve, is potentially highly
| damaging for IT in Europe.
