Raymond: MS Makes it Hard to Be Treated Equally

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Sun 2nd Sep 2007 18:40 UTC

Eric S. Raymond writes on his blog: "There's been a lot of debate in the community about how OSI should properly handle Microsoft's planned submission of some of its licenses for OSD certification. That debate has been been going on within OSI, too. OSI's official position, from the beginning, which I helped formulate and have expressed to any number of reporters and analysts, is that OSI will treat any licenses submitted to Microsoft strictly on their merits, without fear or favor. That remains OSI's position. But I find that my resolve is being sorely tested."

So prefectly good the FSF had to make the GPLv3 to make more 'freedoms'

See my response above. The FSF is not the OSI.

Well GPLv3 was submitted already, why aren't raising the same issue? Do you think the issue should be raised?

That is completely irrelevant from the issue at hand. You're just trying to pick a fight.
