"An interesting article about the shift in open source from idealistic to pragmatic. The author compares the relative obscurity of FOSS software such as MediaGoblin and KDE's MakePlayLive co-op to commercial software. The article then goes on to discuss the split between FOSS's goal to provide freedom to users and to provide high-quality software. Also mentioned is the split between commercial and non-commercial FOSS."

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

If you want to claim a copyright you should start being non-anonymous and engage on the same talk page.

It's not my copyright, it's Wikipedias. and it was stolen by my book. and I don't have to be non-anonymous to call the textbook companies out on it. They stole it, IP extremist hypocrite thieves.

Not everyone has the resources of a big corporation to enforce IP. It's mostly the big corporations that have these sorts of resources to go after the little guy but whoever put that image up on Wikipedia is far less likely to have the resources to go after the IP extremist thieves that steal their work without attribution. Yet the big corporations wrongfully accuse everyone else of 'stealing'. Only when others do it I suppose. The hypocrites.
