In this instance I do understand fully the philosophical and practical natures that the GPLs embody. I don't agree with it. It certainly has lots of good points, but also lots of stupidity.

I guess I should delineate what I meant.

The best software is unarguably made by organized person(s). The best open source projects are organized. The very best ones are companies.

Once they become companies, while they are still certainly driven by the communities, the real innovation comes from those directly involved with the company, and not the random "spare-time" coders. Certainly those spare-timers might contribute a lot in a lot of different ways, and may be the lifeblood of those projects. Ultimately though, the "open-source"ness of those projects is different from the "open-source"ness of projects that are done by groups of people who just do it in their spare time.

I find no use for people who produce bad code in their spare time and pronounce it holier than Microsoft simply because its open source.

Please don't ruin my naive faith in the ultimate victory of Capitalism.
