It's interesting that "Intellect" appears to have said "Mandating
one particular type of license will hurt competition, but
discriminating against said license is good sportsmanship."
I don't personally agree that open source should be mandated by
any governing body, political or corporate, if Linux is ever to
prove itself to the world at large.
I realize I'm separating myself from the FSF, but in the real
world it's not about who has more money, whose package costs
more, or who believes in freedom more. It's about what benefits
the market most.
If any particular system is to be accepted as "better" or even
"successful", they have to compete on equal terms. I think it's
great that governments are starting to see it as a viable option,
but favoring any party benefits no one.
