Linux, open-source, and control
Over at Slashdot, they're debating a statement by Greg Mancusi-Ungaro, Novell's Linux and open-source software marketing manager, in a recent LinuxFormat interview, that "Well, if we ever woke up one day and said 'Wow, Novell is the Microsoft of Linux' or 'Red Hat is the Microsoft of Linux', then the Linux movement would be over."
The point was: Could a Red Hat or Novell somehow take over Linux and become like Microsoft?
I'm a little puzzled by the question. The answer is no. NO, with a capital "N" and "O."
Yes, companies and individuals want to control open-source software.
