Jack Schofield of the Guardian newspaper certainly makes it clear
which side of the fence he sits on with his article on page 22 of
the Inside IT section today. His misguided article misses the point
entirely on the subject of opensource, his suggestion that that bug
fixes can introduce as many problems as they solve, I considered
particularly poor quality reporting as this is just (if not more)
applicable from a closed source perspective. While agreeing that
changes can be made by companies using open source software he
implies that they are not often accepted by the group organising the
project, missing the point that it is rarely even possible to
suggest changes to a closed source project.
Well, read it yourself if you get a chance.
Still annoyed,
Dominic.
