Is it the normal attitude "noone can make money on freeware"? I just happen to work at /// in the part that's doing Erlang. And Eddie is the way the PHBs want to check if "open sourcing" Erlang would be a good idea. _I_ know that if Erlang stays non-free it will die. So yes, I'm trying to make a living. Please. Don't judge people without knowing the facts. > You don't know the > quality of either piece of software yet, Oh, I know the quality of Eddie. And I certainly know the quality of Erlang. Erlang was _written_ for robustness and failover. And my job is to ensure the quality of Erlang. And I can promise you that I'm doing a great job. > but attitudes like that are a > big reason that free software isn't more highly catered to by commercial > companies. Oh. So Ericsson is a commercial company.. When did we start doing charity? btw. Why shouldn't I let people know that there are alternatives? Even if they are free or commercial? Since when did this market benefit from monopoly? //art To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
