Comments on: At Novell, Software Development is Microsoft Cloning (MicroFOSS) http://techrights.org/2008/09/08/development-is-cloning/ 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: Ross Turk http://techrights.org/2008/09/08/development-is-cloning/comment-page-1/#comment-22310 Ross Turk Mon, 08 Sep 2008 19:38:56 +0000 http://boycottnovell.com/2008/09/08/development-is-cloning/#comment-22310 I need to correct one of your more minor points: I become friends with Joe Brockmeier because he used to work for Linux.com, one of our sister sites. We go back pretty far, way before Novell. Your post about SourceForge and Codeplex weaving themselves together is similarly misleading. We asked a variety of open source repositories to provide a dump of their project data to make it easier for people to nominate their projects for the Community Choice Awards. Codeplex responded, and so did Google Code. I get the point you're trying to make with your blog, but if you want to be accurate on some of your finer details, you should drop me a line first. :) I need to correct one of your more minor points:
