Open letter from Darl McBride

(1/2) > >>

Seth:
Hmm.... I guess after E.S. Raymond's open letter to D.M., he had to respond.

What stood out to me was him saying that Open Source coders need to improve the process by which  new codes developed does not infringe on someone else's copyrighted works.

Really ?

Btw, Darl,there is absolutely zero probability for SCO, or you to tell whether a closed-source OSs has similarly copied codes within them.
Hmm....you seem to be holding the Open Source community to higher standards than the proprietary software communities.
Figures.
