[h2o-discuss] Final words for Eric Raymond

[Manuel Gutierrez Algaba <irmina@ctv.es>]

Perhaps, I'm bit unfair with Eric Raymond. He's done lots of thing.
But it's important to recall that we don't need Prophets, nor powerful
guys. Open Source has got a lot of freedom involved.
If we start to have a kind of "Open Source Government", we'll have
 a big problem.
Because:
- How many people have felt rejected by the strong coding rules,
and behaviour of GNU ( that aims to be OSG, more or less) ?
 The
GNU license itself is awful, few people may claim to understand 
what really says.

- How many people have tried to "explain" the Open Source movement?
How many have tried to search some position in the "government"?
How many people have tried to ease things?
Imagine for example, scripting languages: Perl, tcl, python.
It's not uncommon to see flame wars between them. Even you can see
Larry Wall o Ousterhout INVOLVED IN them. What's this? Larry Wall
aims to be Senator of the Congress of OSG ?

Obviously, the Open - ... community is full of power fights. Although
the money is no longer the inmediate target. Big deals of power
gives money. Few Big Guys ( RSM, Linux, Guido Van Rossum...) seem
free of this temptation for power.
