You are still making the fundamentally flawed assumption that there _has_ to be a business model in it by which you or I can make money. People are observing the way the world seems to be going; you seem to simply repeat ad infinitum "That can't be true because that way I can't see how to make money out of it". You had a brief moment of coherency when you asserted that the prevalence of Free Software would see innovation grind to a halt since there would be insufficient motivation to fund large-scale projects, and hence proprietary software would prevail. I didn't _believe_ you when you said that, but at least I could understand what you were trying to say. -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
