Thanks for posting the URL, on the Open Source Essay. http://www.dwheeler.com/oss_fs_why.html
The obvious consideration about this Essay is the diversity of factual data. I often discount arguments for OSS (Open Software) because they are filled with "emotional appeal" and little substance (please see some of R. Stallmans past rhetoric). However, this essay has a lot of "heavy duty" numbers in it, that are easily traceable or discernable, even by those with low or selective computer literacy. This is a must read for any Linux Fan (or geek), or members of the Open Source community, or even those trying to find truth in this topsy - turvy economy. My apologies if you have seen this before ... paulc _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
