Way to go @aki. Your critiques of opensource are very direct and specific, yet your definition of opensource is very vague and general.<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m seriously trying to understand what you&#39;re saying. In your posts you&#39;ve mixed *BSD, downloading, PC-BSD, &quot;free-bee-ness&quot;, C#, script-kiddies.... I don&#39;t really know what you&#39;re saying anymore.<br>

You&#39;ve mentioned it a gazillion times without saying what you mean by it. I gather &quot;downloading&quot; and &quot;free-bee-ness&quot; is a big part of your (mis?)understanding? But let&#39;s hear it directly from you.<br>

</div><div>@Saidi, sorry I&#39;m kind of tired with the OS stuff. and feeding this thread Kindly do look at the end result of what OS is, then it will make more sense as a generalised statement as I put it. :-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Or please list as how you understand OS to be ( wihtout the licensing scheme and the rest ), we can start from there.</div>
