May I present the evidence. In an article entitled My resolve to treat Microsoft like any another license submitter is being sorely tested., self-aggrandizing open-source evangelist Eric Raymond complains about Microsoft’s strong-arm tactics in the OOXML debacle:
I can’t decide whether the metaphor of Microsoft raping a software license is pure genius, or the ravings of a borderline schizophrenic. Send me your input or this blog will sodomize your source-code.
The solution can only be for an ethereal ESR to enact vigilante justice on the rapist Microsoft with his gun rig. Evidence for borderline schizophrenic: “No one’s finger is on the trigger but your own. All the talk-talk in your head, all the emotions in your heart, all the experiences of your past — these things may inform your choice, but they can’t move your finger.” Now – I beg of you – don’t do your bad, bad thing to my source-code! |
