07/13/2004 04:58 AMJaleco, a Gameboy Advance cartridge vendor, released a vintage
game-pack that included a public-domain NES emulator written by Loopy.
They didn't credit him in the release, and a lot of hackers and gamers
were affronted on Loopy's behalf, but Loopy doesn't care. As Waxy
says,
"his message embodies the spirit of the open-source movement":
Let someone take an idea, do something cool with it, and not have to
hesitate because of legal nitpickings. If a company can take something
that I made, and turn it into a product that other people enjoy, I'm
all the happier for it. Why should I care if someone else profits off
of something I made? It's already free.
Demanding that someone pay homage to my work is just ego-stroking, and
I'm not into that. Sure, as a courtesy it would have been nice for
Jaleco to tell me "hey, thanks for the source", and they didn't, but
I'm not going to lose sleep over it, because I didn't write PocketNES
so people would pat me on the back.
I wrote it so people could have fun playing old games. And that's
exactly what's happening here. Mission accomplished.
I'm with him. After all, this guy used the holes in copyright to make
an emulator that relied on Nintendo's (and its suppliers') IP.

05/05/2004 04:06 AMAbout a month ago, Microsoft posted some of its source code to
SourceForge. SourceForge is a, if not the, major distribution point
for open source software. Microsoft's code was put there under the
terms of the Common Public License, which allows modification,
addition, redistribution - in short, it allows most of the rights and
privileges that we associate with open source software.

06/24/2004 12:49 PMMicrosoft Corp. says it is looking to turn over more of its programs
to open-source software developers, playing a greater role in a
process that the Redmond company has criticized strongly at times in
the past.
Money-makers like the company's Windows operating system and Office
productivity suite aren't on the table -- or anywhere near it.
But the company has so far released two software-development tools to
the open-source community, and it wants to continue the practice, a
Microsoft platform manager told an industry group this week.

05/25/2004 11:46 AMA top official of Microsoft last week claimed that governments that
support open source software are not helping build a viable software
ecosystem in their communities. Chris Sharp, director for platform
strategy for Microsoft in the Asia-Pacific and Greater China region,
said governments that standardize on open source software are hurting
their local commercial software vendor communities because these
companies are being robbed of opportunities to make money that they
need to invest in developing more software products.

about open source business models. At the end of a conference day
lasting nearly 13 hours, Young returned to deliver the conference's
keynote address. In between, Jason Matusow of Microsoft's Shared
Source Initiative gave attendees a very differernt point of view about
the value of open source in the enterprise. No real surprises there.

I'm an open source virgin, but Microsoft

04/26/2004 11:53 AMToo many open source advocates complain about Microsoft writing
terrible buggy software and think that open source developers do it
better. The truth is Microsoft is innovative, has vision, and
executes well. If open source developers can do as well as Microsoft,
it's a big compliment. Smart people like Miguel de Icaza and Brendan
Eich have known this for a long time. Miguel has a reality check for
these innocent virgins.
Brendan (one of the Mozilla leads) has a frank assessment of Mozilla too. I talked about this last
year.

Microsoft Trying To Convince VCs That
Open Source = Fraud
02/19/2004 02:46 AMVenture capitalist Tim Oren has posted an excerpt from an email sent
to a venture capitalist mailing advertising a seminar, put on by
Microsoft, about the dangers of open source technology. By itself,
that's no surprise, but the language in the email is fairly over the
top, claiming that some potential acquiring companies
"view open
source as being no different than fraud on the books." That's
probably true if the "acquiring companies" are Microsoft and SCO.
Otherwise, most companies look at it from the reasonable standpoint:
does the technology do the job it needs to do? Anyway, does this sort
of stuff actually convince any company or any VC that they shouldn't
go with open source technology if it does the job? If so, would you
really want to invest in or buy such a company so easily swayed by
such arguments?
