I hear a certain amount of bitterness through your remarks. Also, it's quite interesting that none of the others here chime in with "that's not so!" - silent consent?
I just did! Sorry, have been busy otherwise, but marked the last posts for later to respond.
-if "protecting business models" was a priority I guess gnu/linux shouldn't have been started
Even if that was the case and it's about "business" as Ian claims, I absolutely don't agree with the above statement! Linux and the Open Source Movement are not hidden communist agendas and I don't see any reason why Linux shouldn't be involved in businesses. Actually many vendors and otherwise make money on Linux.
-shortsightedness: you can sell some people (who are very tolerable or have to do it because they have been told so "from above") crappy stuff
I think we still need to define what crappy stuff is. So far I haven't seen what prevents you or anybody else from using it.
