strings attached (Score 1)

"These disputes might scare companies away from using open source software." No one forces a company to use open source. The thrust of the Forbes article seems to say: OSS is dangerous because this "free" software has strings attached, which could end up costing a company money. This is "such a pity" because wouldn't it be great to use other people's work AND then make a full profit on it? Why don't these "hit men" let us take their code entirely for our own private ends? Actually I have a better idea, you want exclusive control over your product? Why not write the code yourself, the FSF isn't stopping you!
