Am not talking about those. Those ones are called users and administrators. Am talking about the real creators of open source. The kernel developers who have to worry whether they are infringing on a patent by adding mouse functionality, or making graphics appear in a certain way. Infact, if mac or xerox? had not pioneered the mouse, and windows pioneered it, nobody else would have a mouse. Thats the kind of thing am talking about
@Frankilne, please let us not even go down the road of the so called developer community. What developer community are you referring to? Hope not those who download free software, tweak it and sell as commercial enterprise!Cheers. :-)On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 9:43 AM, Frankline Chitwa <frank.chitwa@gmail.com> wrote:
Not really, I think the developer community would much freer than it is today. Linux (in a different name) would come along. And the open source community would be better unified and not seeking patents for the sole reason of protecting itself from litigation.
