Comments on: Selling Services Without Selling Fear of Licences http://techrights.org/2008/01/27/sell-service-not-fud/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:00:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: ernest park http://techrights.org/2008/01/27/sell-service-not-fud/comment-page-1/#comment-7415 ernest park Tue, 01 Apr 2008 01:06:58 +0000 http://boycottnovell.com/2008/01/27/sell-service-not-fud/#comment-7415 I note and appreciate the emotion filled comments regarding Palamida's involvement in tracking GPLv3 adoption rates. I am in charge of the research team and the blog site. We get numerous comments, and ALL are posted. If a comment was left, while I don't agree with it, it is posted. The nature of the site has NEVER been to spread fear or spin regarding how spooky and scary OSS is. Rather, my team and I are sponsored by Palamida to provide objective information regarding OSS usage of certain licenses. The forum is open to debate and public input. I can directly be reached via email with questions, or emails can be sent to rdgroup@palamida.com. Our research and the GPLv3 work should serve more as a barometer of the OSS community as a whole. Since we look at thousands of projects per week for licensing, code changes, updates, my team and I provide an honest perspective on what is currently happening in OSS related to GPLv3 licensing. As an aside, our blogs do track adoption rates, but also keep readers informed regarding other issues of OSS relevance. Again, our goal is to honestly track and publish licensing and related trends across OSS, represented at http://gpl3.palamida.com. Our research is available for reuse by analysts, and is routinely used and trusted as an objective source. As an aside, our blog regarding dual licensing issues (http://gpl3.blogspot.com/2008/01/gpl-project-watch-list-for-week-of-0118.html) received a number of comments. It was my fault that I edited our information, and in doing so, did not accurately explain our point. We do include all comments received, and I invite comments in the future.
