[ILUG] The I.S.A in the Irish Times

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Daniel Goldsmith (daniel.goldsmith at gmail.com):

[Cathal Friel of the ISA:]

> "He also noted that Open Source software - which is developed by large
> communities of programmers and distributed for free or at low cost -
> is also going to have an effect on the software market"
> [...]
> "He believes the open source movement is actually stifling innovation,
> because fewer programmers will develop software without the financial
> incentive of success"

"Please protect us from those nasty, evil hobbyists.  We can't compete!"
