The battle rages

I got a CNET announce that had that story in it for those who think about
how the marketplace is changing and whether or not that will affect the
future of the AS/400. The title of the article was "Microsoft Outlaws PERL"
but I think it really reaches further than that. There is an excerpt from
the .NET licensing agreement. Although the excerpt was posted by "The
Satirist" and he seems to feel there is no problem, he doesn't seem to
observe the fact that per the agreement you would not be allowed to use any
open source tools for developing software if you are using .NET.

If you believe that the best technology wins the
marketplace, you haven't been paying attention.
