In reply to Samuel "Otto" Wood.

@Otto,

Yes for the FSF people we should all work for auttomatic or WP-engine or facebook or google and be GPL complaint by hiding our code and never sharing it in the first place.

Don't you find it ridiculous that while the biggest PHP user in the world has enormous profits (I meant facebook, but might apply to auttomatic as well) zend, the inventor of PHP was sold few months ago for a sum which is about the value of the money which was invested into it? The bleak world GPL wants to lead us into is were you can only develop software as part of some corp.

As GPL encourages monitization via support it basically forces developers to write poor undocumented code, because if your code "just works" who will pay for support?

(sorry for the rant that might be misdirected here, but the bazar and cathedral is over hyped and actually proven wrong otherwise apple and microsoft would have been dead long ago)
