Gates on open source: We've been misconstrued! Gates: Open-source GPL is 'Pac-Man-like' "Gates said Microsoft's stance on open source "has been misconstrued in many ways. It's a topic that you can leap on and say, 'Microsoft doesn't make free software.' Hey, we have free software, the world will always have free software. I mean, if you characterize it that way, that's not right. But if you say to people, 'Do you understand the GPL?' (then) they're pretty stunned when the Pac-Man-like nature of it is described to them." http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,5092935,00.html -- -- ----/ / _ Fred A.
