The Trouble with Ill Informed Writing on Open Source   September 19th, 2005

Stephen Marshall writes about the Trouble with Open Source on the Britsh Computer Society website. What follows is an ill informed op-ed piece that cobbles together the usual bunch of unsubstantiated myths regarding Open Source.

He then goes on scaremonger about the “nightmare scenario of OSS at one extreme and Microsoft at the other with nothing else in between“. He should follow the practice I find useful in such instances, and replace “Open Source” with “Closed Source” and see if it presents an equally terrifying scenario.
