Стив Гудуин

Тошо ми изпрати едно интересно разсъждение на Стив Гудуин за това колко отворени са някои, когато става дума за отворен код, и как всеки влага различен смисъл в думите отворен и свободен:

…Perhaps I don’t like people keeping secrets. Unless you’re a magician, you shouldn’t have secrets! Any organization, especially one that’s intent on installing software that controls your house, should be transparent in their motives. I want to know what is going on behind the scenes. I don’t like the not knowing, so I guess it’s my problem…

…So perhaps it is the money. I’m not paying to help them fix their standard. In fact, this approach limits it to those with money, who are not necessarily those with the understanding of the technology or the problem domain…
