I may not have been as blunt in my post-mortem of the falling out ... Ok, I probably would have if I had your ear in a pub and maybe gone a few steps more depending on the hour, but nonetheless, I couldn't have said it better than Richard on how the break with BitKeeper is a Good Thing for Linux, and a Good Thing for free software in general.<br /> <blockquote><cite class="blog-source">We should not forget the lesson we have learned from it: Non-free programs are dangerous to you and to your community. Don't let them get a place in your life.</cite><br /> <i class="blog-source">[ via <a href="http://software.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/04/25/130207&amp;from=rss">BitKeeper bon-voyage is a happy ending</a> ]</i></p></blockquote> <p>Hear, hear. And further to that notion, I'll risk of munged paraphrase of what John Cage said about pianos:</p> <blockquote><p>Proprietary software is like money; any intrinsic value is only a misperception by those who own it.</p></blockquote> http://lions.teledyn.com/node/581#comments Linux Free Software Mon, 25 Apr 2005 15:56:10 -0400 garym 581 at http://lions.teledyn.com
