Re:Open source is a joke (Score 1)

I disagree. My company uses a variety of proprietary (WinTel, WebSphere, DB2, etc) and open source (Linux, FF, Eclipse, etc) software and we have seen some real high quality work in both camps (and bad ones too). And to say that the open source code is stolen from for-profits is untrue and disingenuous. Many governments, not to mention Fortune 500's, are using open source. Some of these entities are very, very careful institutions--they won't dabble in stolen code (too much to lose). Witness SCO vs. IBM.
