I wanted to comment on how we handled this article.
Seems the author did not understand the company/open-source
relationship. This is not a huge surprise. I have to explain it to my
friends and relatives all the time. Now, our way of dealing with users
who ask questions is to gently lead them to the answer. In this case,
we have insulted the author. Hard to see how our users get gentle
treatment while authors get insulted.
Now, you can say that press people have to live up to a higher standard,
and therefore deserve to be insulted when they get things wrong. If
that is people's opinion, I can't argue with that. However, consider
how many press people think Linux is developed by Red Hat. I bet
there's a lot.
The author didn't get the Berkely/FreeBSD/PostgreSQL relationship right
either. Seems the author has a "relationship" problem. :-)
