Book Review: Geeks Bearing Gifts
,----[ Quote ]
| Chapter 10 was a well-written summary on
| the Free Software and Open Source movements
| and the rise of GNU/Linux. It highlights
| Richard Stallmanâs founding of the Free
| Software movement and laments that the term
| âLinuxâ is used to refer to the whole
| GNU/Linux operating system. A somewhat
| balanced view of the difference of opinion
| between the Open Source and Free Software
| movements is provided. The GNU GPL (General
| Public License) is called viral and
| draconian, but soon after, Nelson points
| out that âopen sourceâ has created various
| âshadings, alternatives, and complexitiesâ.
