dominates. Secondly i only quoted one instance because you are
obviously uninterested in doing any research of your own in this
subject - there are any number of instances - infrae, mysql,
edgewall, mahiti, deeproot, srijan, sql-ledger, katipo, operational
dynamics, collabnet, canonical, redhat, novell, ibm ... you want more?
Thank You, for all that time. I am not interested in researching this
topic because I dont expect it to feed me. And on the other hand, why
is MySQL maintaining dual licensing while PGSQL is not? Why both are
FOSS business models right?
And i cannot understand why IBM figures in this list? They have a much
bigger and broader business interests in varied fields that we cannot
even discuss here. And some of their premium products are not even
close to opensource. They have good support for opensource products.
Isnt that all?
So, if some part of Vista could work exceptionally well in a Linux
network will they feature in this list too?
most lugs can provide similar support for most of the issues in their
mailing list.
again check infrae, mysql, edgewall, mahiti, deeproot, srijan, sql-
ledger, katipo, operational dynamics, collabnet, canonical, redhat,
novell, ibm ... you want more?
My point was that lugs can sort issues that support aims to. Can we not?
you will never get anywhere unless you are constantly questioning
your beliefs and reassessing them in the light of experience - and
being openminded in assessing criticism of your beliefs by others
Precisely. One thing I ve agreed in the entire chain of mails. But,
the questioning will happen when there is a proven model in view. When
I learnt about python, it was almost stable. In the sense that you
could reliably do something on it. But when i did ruby, unfortunately,
the case wasnt the same. Their module for mysql had to change and my
code wouldnt work. I dont use ruby yet?! So, what should I be
questioning? Let the FOSS business model stabilize as a pure FOSS
model that wont need to go proprietary and I will reply you in the
affirmative.
