[SC.LUG] Joerg Schilling

[Frank Mitchell]

I see Ian Molton sent an email giving a misleading impression that I have a
particular view of Joerg Schilling, which I don't:

LOL. I'm not the only one thinking that then :-)

That's Alan Pope's opinion, and presumably Ian Molton's. But I've never met
Joerg Schilling and I reserve judgement. I've seen Joerg Schilling
denouncing several Linux Software items as The Worst He's Ever Seen, and I
know he believes Linux provides inadequate support for SCSI. That's the full
extent of my acquaintance with Joerg Schilling.

But I do believe this is one area where Open Source gets itself into
trouble. People with overlapping responsibilities have different approaches,
and then they start hurling abuse at each other. To me this is a good reason
for going Closed Source. Then people can hurl abuse at me but it doesn't
affect the development of my Software.
