It would be up to the software’s owner not to be too greedy. The only thing I can add is that the owner of the source would have to predefine the terms of the usability of the source, ie: no matter who gives me money on this software, the license will be: X or whatever license once the grand total is reached. As well as terrible terrible terrible terrible marketing. Michael Phipps: some questionable management practices.ĭitto. No, they were forced into bad situations by… Michael Phipps: They were forced into bad situations by illegal practices Be on the other hand wasn’t even mentioned by Microsoft prior to the antitrust case.

Jacques Lema: Linux is definitely not for my mother.
