:ZDNet: Is BSD Getting Lost Amidst the Open Source Salvos?
ZDNet: Is BSD Getting Lost Amidst the Open Source Salvos? Jun 12, 2001, 13 :26 UTC (59 Talkback[s] ) (9781 reads)(Other stories by Evan Leibovitch )
ZDNet's Evan Leibovitch is dressed to incite with this column, in which
he discusses the absence of BSD advocates from the assorted "Linux is/isn't
unamerican" skirmishes of late:
"...BSD supporters are ironically being tarred with the same
brush as the GPL many of them dislike. This must especially
irk some folks who believe the Linux camp is in desperation mode
since Apple and Microsoft, they say, are using BSD code and
the GPLers are feeling left behind."
His core provocation is simply "if BSD's
better for building a business, where's the support from the major
players?"
