James "Sherlock" Gosling the Father of Java, Chides Open Source Development Community


An Aussie Linux rag had this about James "Sherlock" Gosling - 'Father of Java chides open source developer community' [via Sadasivuni].

I am reminded about the  Holmesian (or Sherlockian) deduction -
"The word "Sherlock" has entered the language to mean a detective or nosy person; it is also commonly used in American slang to mean a knowledgeable person, as in the sarcastic phrase "No shit, Sherlock", uttered when someone says something obvious."

My sentiments about the Open Source "business" are given by Chris Chapman's statements -
"JUST SAY NO TO GPL! This control is NOT GPLed! No permission is given to allow any portion of this control to appear in any GPL/FSF or other Stallman/Raymond licensed application. Support capitalism and free, independent developers!"

The last phrase captures it all.
