...note on free software...

From interview with Mark Shuttleworth:

"Microsoft and others, a lot of them say that free software and open source is all about copying what was being done before in proprietary software, and for a lot of time that was true. The world we are seeing is that, as soon as the free software reaches a point where it’s as good as the proprietary software, suddenly all the innovation shifts to the free software. "

I like interviews with smart guys.
