Comment Parasites (O'Reilly) (Score 1) 139
On what grounds do you base that accusation?
O'Reilly books have given me infinitely more help when it comes to actually *using* free software than the, generally inadequate, online documentation ever has. This has made it easier for many people to write software (free or otherwise). Maybe there is a symbiotic relationship but describing them as parasitic is a bit extreme imho.
