When Darl McBride sent his open letter to the open source community, I was especially struck by the offer to work with the community to work out various IP issues and perhaps a new “design a new business model that enhances the stability and trustworthiness of the Open Source community in the eyes of enterprise customers.”
Many members of the community, from everyday desktop users right on up to Linus Torvalds, jumped on the statements made by McBride earlier this week, and the arguments offered against the Utah company have ranged from logically reasoned to outright incensed. It was, after all, a pretty fair bet that the community would be upset by the comments made in that letter.
