Re: Adoption of RPG OA

Open Source is great, but magazines will always go after the money. No magazine will publish good, realistic articles about open source and lose the paid advertising.
Open Source is dependent on serious, honest profesionals, that will take the time to learn about the proyects and reject the nice comisions offered as an incentive to recomend a paid option.
Are we?

And that is where I get really frustrated by the licensing etc. Larry. Magazine articles and Open Source type projects are not likely to proliferate until you know your audience can get their hands on the required software pre-reqs. Right now it is a bit like writing code for a target audience that hasn't got the RPG compiler!
