Best summary of the problem with SpringSource new policy

September 23, 2008 | In Uncategorized |

I wrote about it here, but Alessandro Santini is explaining it better here.

It’s not about SpringSource making money - I hope they all get stinking rich. It’s not demanding that all software should be free. But it is about blurring the line between closed source and Open Source. And I could do without that.

Open Source culture means making it easy for the community to take part. SpringSource is in fact making the source tree useless for any real work.
