Today is the day when we shall find out about the
Grand Plan of the FSF. Backlash is expected, but we will get by
despite all the skepticism.
Brown admits that the discussion so far about the license revision has revealed and possibly deepened the divisions between the free software and open source communities. But "there's nothing we can do about that," he says philosophically. "It's just the way things are."
To be fair to Novell, throughout their time as a decent Open Source citizen they have actually contributed a lot. In fact, they still
contribute a great deal of stuff, but the damage they do at the same time outweighs the benefits.
