“World Domination 201” presented a strategy of *temporary
compromise* in order to accelerate the adoption of GNU/Linux by the
masses and hence put it in a position in which the 64bit tide will
throw GNU/Linux at the top of the operating systems market. However
there are no confidence inspiring indications that this plan is
consistently being put to action as such. Not only that, but it is
proving hard to trust Eric Raymond to care enough about holding
true to the “temporary” part of the plan. He doesn’t have a real
problem with proprietary software anyway. We can’t count on him
being the one advocating replacements for proprietary components
when the fitting time for that comes.”“In fact, as we were able to find out from Landley’s comments,
it was Landley who wrote most of the document, not ESR, and it is
probably due to Landley more than ESR that the document advocates a
“temporary” compromise, and yet ESR obviously has more pull in the
matter than Rob Landley, and is much closer with Linspire.”
