Open Source Has Not Failed. Don't Cover Up Corporate Abuse of Open Source

lkfitz's bookmarks 2018-08-20

Summary:

"John Mark's article about "Why Open Source Failed" is so extremely misguided. It lambastes the open source community for driving inequality in the world by making their work freely available. He doesn't entirely let the "Big 4" technology corporations off the hook for being evil, but, because of that conspicuous difference between open source and corporate development, he certainly blames open source for helping them get where they are today."
