Thoughts on Mainstream Linux Acceptance
,----[ Quote ]
| What I do see being good for Linux is the
| growing size of the Linux community.
| Eventually, a software vendor will decide to
| start releasing its software for the Linux
| platform as well as x86-64 Mac and Win32. A
| company such as Adobe or Microsoft would then
| be dictating which distribution became
| dominant, but you would see other vendors
| follow that lead, and Linux would come
| screaming into the mainstream rather quickly,
| and I would talk to my boss, and I would start
| recommending Linux machines. I have a feeling
| that others in my position would do the same.
| The money to be made would be in keeping these
| commercial applications running. As an update
| broke the app, I would be called upon to fix
| things so that the application would once
| again run. I can see that being very lucrative
| indeed. How often is that cry of distress
| heard by Ubuntu users?

Open Source Licensing and Community
,----[ Quote ]
| I agree, license and copyright are factors in
| creating and fostering communities but I
| donât think itâs the most important set of
| factors. License and community, while related
| are very much separate issues. Open source
| tends to fetish license and thus itâs over-
| emphasized in conversations where it at best
| a contributing factor.
