British Computer Society - Member view: The trouble with open source

British Computer Society - Member view: The trouble with open source: "What we really need from government is an investigation of the long-term effects of OSS on our indigenous software industry, assistance to combat the threat to the industry's livelihood that OSS might pose and the development of a strategy to build on the opportunities that OSS has created. Without prompt action, my fear is that a further move towards OSS could result in the nightmare scenario of OSS at one extreme and Microsoft at the other with nothing else in between. Where would our freedom of choice be then?"

This is a good example on a well written LIE article. If the British Computer Society was interested in the small business then they would have been against software patents. So who is this organization that write that: "This might not be such a bad thing, as I'm sure that many of us would secretly welcome the collapse of the virtual monopoly that currently exists in the desktop software market."

IKT-Norge, the German Society for Informatics is also organizations that is corrupted by the big busines. Money talks!
