Show us the “stolen code” SCO, if you really have it.
For all of you users of Free and Open Software, take the time to thank a developer for their work, not just complain about what bugs are found and what patches are needed.
Can it be said any better
he sounds like he really loves linux, all aspects of it, the freedom it provides, he’s totally fascinated by this great phenomenon.
ibm is launcing it’s new linux add campaign and i saw cnn do a little feature on linux this morning that was pretty even handed i thought. i’m feeling all warm now
“For all of you users of Free and Open Software, take the time to thank a developer for their work, not just complain about what bugs are found and what patches are needed.”
I think they would prefer a good bug report to a bit of mindless praise
BYW. I have thanked developers for their work, but I feel guilty about all the bug reports I have been to lazy to submit which might help them improve the software.
