speaking about Linux
A: Yeah. It's good competition. It will force us to be innovative. It will
force us to justify the prices and value that we deliver. And that's only
healthy. The only thing we have a problem with is when the government funds
open-source work. Government funding should be for work that is available to
everybody. Open source is not available to commercial companies. The way the
license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the
rest of your software open source. If the government wants to put something
in the public domain, it should. Linux is not in the public domain. Linux is
a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything
it touches. That's the way that the license works.
microsoft is very scared of Linux. it will be interersting to see what
they do in the future to destroy Linux.
