Interview with Eric S. Raymond
,----[ Quote ]
| CM: You have advocated the label “Open Source” over “Free Software” why?
|
| ESR: Because the term “free software” frightens and confuses people who wear
| suits. Those people have money and decision-making power that we need, so not
| confusing and frightening them is smart.

| B. The Microsoft Tax
|
| Microsoft's entire pricing, contract, and licensing structure is
| designed with the primary aim of preventing any other operating-system
| vendor from getting a foothold on the desktop. They achieve this by
| making the opportunity cost of pre-installing a non-Windows operating
| system prohibitively high for any vendor who also needs to ship
| Windows.

Eric Raymond Has Left Linspire’s Board
.----
| Shane once asked himself what Eric Raymond would do after
| Linspire’s deal with Microsoft. It turns out that shortly after
| Kevin Carmony had left Linspire, Eric left as well. The press did
| not report any of this, despite the fact that the press did make a
| lot of noise when Eric dumped Fedora for Ubuntu Linux.
